Live from The Hub: Empowering New England Businesses with VistaPrint and the Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics’ Shamrock Foundation “Power Forward Small Business Grant” program in conjunction with Vista Print and the National Association of American Colored People (NAACP) has gained a very good reputation for making an impact with local Black-owned small businesses that have been granted with one of the $25,000 grants it has dispersed.

Recipients not only receive financial assistance but also have the opportunity to be featured on national co-branded platforms with customized design and marketing assistance to help their businesses grow and succeed.

The initiative is a part of the “Boston Celtics United for Social Justice” program, which focuses on addressing racial injustice and social inequities in the Greater Boston area.

The NAACP recently put out a video talking more in depth about the impact it has had in the local community — check out the clip embedded above to hear more.
