The Coalition for an Equitable Economy was born as a product of the restless need to provide actionable advocacy, targeted resources and inclusive capital access to BIPOC and Minority-owned small businesses in Massachusetts, after the statistics during and post-covid era revealed the shocking light on the chronically uneven playing field Black, Latino and Indigenous entrepreneurs experience at the face of racial disparity. 

​

Four years later, CEE is the leader non-profit organization in the Bay State promoting the programs and connections needed to close the racial wealth gap. In 2024, we took on the mission to lead a more impactful initiative to unite Business Support Organizations, Ecosystem Supporters and Small Business Owners into a comprehensive space where each can contribute and collaborate at their specialty; making our shared goal to achieve racial and ethnic parity in business ownership by the end of 2030 a more tangible reality. That's why we created CEE+.
