UBS BANNER-3

Helping Women of Color Owned Businesses
impacted by Covid-19 
REBUILD, MANAGE, and GROW their companies. 

75 Fellowships Awarded
Across 39 Cities / 5 Countries
100% Awarded to Women of Color

What We're ALL About

Covid-19 has eliminated more than 25% of women-owned businesses in the United States. That percentage increases to 40% for women of color owned businesses.[1] Prior to the pandemic, women-owned businesses were growing at a rate of roughly 1,800 per day, of which 89% were started by women of color.[1] 

The UBS x Luminary Fellowship Program is supporting businesses owned or founded by women of color by awarding a total of 75 fellowships. 

 

The program gives Fellows access to Luminary’s extensive global community, introductions, workshops, coaching, mentoring and business marketplace for growth. Fellows will also receive best-in-class thought leadership and insights from UBS, with specific support from the UBS Business Owner’s and Strategic Women’s Client Segments, including access to the extensive resources of the UBS Business Owner Resilience Center and the UBS Own Your Worth platform and accompanying Financial Participation educational content for women.

 

Through this partnership, Luminary has provided
75 women of color business owners with full Luminary Memberships.
