The Fifteen Percent Pledge
Google, a titan in the tech industry, has shown its support for this Fifteen Percent Pledge initiative by announcing finalists for grants totalling $250,000 (3rd Prize: $10,000, 2nd Prize: $15,000, 1st Prize: $200,000).
The Fifteen Percent Pledge is a US-based non-profit organization that encourages retailers to allocate at least 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned businesses, reflecting the nearly 15% of the US population made up of Black people.
