According to its website, the Feed the Soul Foundation classifies “marginalized business owners” as people of color, LGBTQIA+, senior citizens, military combat veterans, hearing, visually and physically challenged persons, and formerly incarcerated individuals. The goal of the Restaurant Business Development Fund is to benefit their businesses in the following ways:
• Equip marginalized business owners with business development training and consultation services to improve their business operations.
• Increase access to business resources including programming, funding and technology to support marginalized entrepreneurs.
• Support the growth and expansion of marginalized entrepreneurs’ culinary businesses to create economically sustainable communities.
• Invest in workforce training for employees of culinary businesses with marginalized business owners.
