Empowering Our Community, One Business at a Time

 

At the Black Community Development and Chamber of Commerce of Arkansas (BCDCCA), our goal is to economically empower and sustain Underserved, Overburdened, Socially Disadvantaged, Low-to-Moderate Income, and Distressed communities in Arkansas. We believe that entrepreneurship and access to capital are vital pathways to generational wealth, increased business and home ownership, and community resilience. By providing valuable resources, education, funding, discounts, and partnerships, we strive to foster thriving businesses and meaningful employment opportunities throughout our network.
