Boma Announces 2nd Round of Grant Funding for BIPOC Designers

Boma Jewelry has announced a second round of funding for its grant program. The first round was released last year and leveraged company resources to provide BIPOC jewelry designers with a variety of support including design mentorship, sampling, production opportunities, and industry insight. Since then, the grant program has grown and evolved into a mentorship and business incubator with participation from designers in New York, Chicago, and London.

“We recognize that we have resources many Black jewelry designers have never had access to. Our grant program will help create new opportunities and contribute to making a lasting, positive impact for our grant recipients and partners.”

- Suzanne Vetillart, CEO of Boma Jewelry

Applications will be accepted now through February 28, 2021. Up to 3 applicants will be chosen to participate in the spring program. Winners will be announced in early March. Learn more about the grant program and meet past recipients here.
