Diverse Erie has invested more than $2.3 million in BIPOC-owned businesses, nonprofits, and health organizations across Erie County since 2021. That work moves forward because of the partners, businesses, and community members who believe Erie’s future is worth investing in. Here is how you can be part of it.

Community Partnerships
WORK WITH DIVERSE ERIE TO BUILD A COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
Diverse Erie’s work is most powerful when it is connected to the organizations already doing the work on the ground in Erie County. If your organization serves BIPOC residents, supports economic equity, or is working to build a stronger Erie, we want to hear from you. Community partnerships allow us to extend our reach, share resources, and build the kind of sustained, collaborative investment that creates generational change.
