Partner Spotlight: Truist & BBIF

Celebrating a Partnership that Empowers Communities


In the ever-evolving landscape of community development and financial assistance, partnerships that foster growth and offer support to underserved communities are invaluable. Today, we shine our partner spotlight on an exemplary collaboration between Truist and the Black Business Investment Fund (BBIF), showcasing a journey of dedication, support, and impactful results.


Truist: A Pillar of Support Since Inception

Truist, a major U.S. commercial bank with a profound commitment to building better lives and communities, has been a steadfast supporter of BBIF since its inception. The corporation has provided grants that are critical in establishing lending funds, educational resources, and training services tailored for underserved small businesses across Florida.


The Truist Foundation, renowned for its mission to support nonprofit organizations in their initiatives to enhance economic mobility, plays a crucial role in BBIF's efforts to reach small businesses lacking access to traditional lending markets. You can learn more about the foundation's work and principles at their website.
