We frequently talk about the importance of corporate support for start-ups, and here’s a good example, albeit from a state to our north.

Proctor & Gamble has donated $1,000,000 to the Minority Business Accelerator, a program from the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber.

P&G spends around $2.5 billion each year with suppliers owned by minority business owners.
