Community investment

DRABPE celebrates $2.2M FedDev Ontario investment.

When one of us wins, the whole community moves forward.

A milestone for our community

Opening more doors for Black entrepreneurs and young leaders.

DRABPE is proud to celebrate the official announcement of $2.2 million in funding from FedDev Ontario. This investment marks a major milestone for our community and strengthens the work of creating access, confidence, and opportunity across Durham Region.

For Black entrepreneurs and professionals, progress often begins with someone who believes in an idea, a person, or a community. That belief can open doors, build confidence, and create momentum.

DRABPE is grateful for the partners who share our commitment to economic mobility and community wellbeing. Together, we will continue building practical pathways, supporting local leaders, and making space for more people to grow and thrive.

Thank you to our team, partners, and community for helping turn shared purpose into lasting impact.
