OWN • RISE • BUILD is a national economic membership institution advancing Black
business ownership, capital access, and collective economic power through structured
collaboration and transparent systems.
We exist to strengthen Black-owned businesses through coordinated access to capital, contracts, compliance infrastructure, and collective economic strategy.
For generations, Black entrepreneurs have faced systemic barriers to funding, limited access to government and corporate contracts, and fragmented support systems.
The Black Business Administration (BBA) created ORB to change that reality.
Through structured membership, pooled resources, and transparent financial stewardship, ORB establishes an ecosystem where businesses grow with accountability, strategy, and shared ownership.
To create a thriving business ecosystem where Black entrepreneurs and small business owners have equitable access to capital, contracts, education, and strategic support that fuels long-term business sustainability and generational wealth.
