The Aux, a commercial hub dedicated to healing, wellness and racial equity, recently received the second of two new funding awards, a multi-year Black Women Impact Grant from Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women Initiative.

With this award, The Aux will be able to scale and increase opportunities for Black women and girls who seek to be business owners and leaders in the greater Chicago area.

Earlier in June, the Aux also received a $500,000 gift from The Mather senior living center in Evanston.
