DUBLIN,
Calif., Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
TriNet (NYSE: TNET), a leading provider of comprehensive
human resources solutions for small and medium-size
businesses (SMBs), today announced that NAACP Empowerment
Programs, a nonprofit division within the nation's oldest and
largest civil rights organization, is the latest recipient of a
TriNet Foundation donation by way of the NAACP Powershift Grants
from Daymond John's Black
Entrepreneurs Day event.
Launched in 2021, the TriNet Foundation is a donor-advised fund
of TriNet and a key component of its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) program. NAACP Empowerment Programs focus on
empowering communities of color, with special attention to a number
of areas that help Black entrepreneurs, including advocating for
economic policies to assist Black entrepreneurs and workers.
"We are proud to support the work that NAACP is doing to help
empower emerging and established Black entrepreneurs and
communities of color," said Samantha
Wellington, TriNet's Executive Vice President of Business
Affairs, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary. "This partnership
aligns with TriNet Foundation's philanthropic vision of improving
humanity through creating, expanding and amplifying volunteerism
and giving efforts to organizations that are dedicated to fostering
positive change, economic development and the growth of
entrepreneurism."
"The NAACP is thrilled to partner with TriNet for Black
Entrepreneurs Day, aiming to broaden opportunities for Black
entrepreneurs nationwide. Through our grants, we are providing the
support and resources necessary to enable Black enterprises to not
only thrive but also drive positive change in their respective
sectors," said Yumeka Rushing, NAACP
Chief Strategy Officer. "This partnership underscores the
importance of supporting Black communities through investment as we
shape a brighter future for all. The NAACP remains committed to
fostering economic growth and sustainability for Black communities.
This is what advocacy in action looks like."
TriNet is also a partner in the upcoming Black Entrepreneurs
Day, the award-winning celebration of Black business aiming to
inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, curated by
Daymond John. Returning for its
fourth year the event will take place at the famed Apollo Theater
in Harlem where Wellington will speak with Daymond John, the founder and CEO of FUBU and
Co-Star of ABC's Shark Tank, about TriNet's commitment to SMBs, its
programs that support entrepreneurial experiences, and the ways in
which it is spotlighting diverse communities. Portions of TriNet's
grant to the NAACP will fund multiple NAACP Powershift Grants
intended to support Black entrepreneurs and small business owners
seeking financial support to build their business. The event will
