Wake up everybody! music mogul Kenneth Gamble is leading the charge to clean up the Ghetto - Reviving Communities

Black Enterprise, Dec, 2002 by Alan Hughes

* Financial institutions: Banks and other such institutions are obligated to reinvest money in minority communities under the Community Reinvestment Act.

* Local colleges and universities: Get students and faculty involved. Use their expertise to strengthen your business plan and to get the technical support you need. Many campuses help businesses through SBA-sponsored Small Business Development Centers.

* Foundations: In your fund-raising efforts, contact corporate and individual foundations or a company's charitable arm. You or one of your associates must be able to explain how your venture works and its benefits to the community, as well as the prospective investor or donor. --Shani Smothers
