The Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE) in Atlanta has received a $2 million donation from the Blank Family Foundation.
The donation will support the development of RICE 2.0, an innovation and networking hub, aimed at fostering economic empowerment for Black entrepreneurs in Atlanta.
The funding will provide small business grants, expanded programming, and mentorship options for entrepreneurs.
The donation reflects the shared belief in supporting upward mobility and generational wealth-building for Black entrepreneurs within and beyond the Atlanta community.
