The Birmingham Business Alliance (BBA) is a partner in the creation of a new Birmingham Business Relief Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham to aid businesses affected by the unrest that occurred in downtown Birmingham the night of Sunday, May 31.
This fund will support small businesses and storefronts that sustained damage and vandalism during the riots, which took place following a peaceful protest to pay respects to George Floyd.
With seed money provided by Spire, the fund is a collaborative effort between REV Birmingham, Urban Impact, the City of Birmingham, the Community Foundation and the BBA.
This fund will help downtown small businesses and storefronts, many already suffering from the effects of the pandemic, as they look to thrive again. The BBA is committed to helping businesses rebuild and prosper, and this fund is vital in that cause.
