ABOUT REVIVE BLACK
Our work at Revive Black restores confidence and dignity for underserved communities living in a digital world. We’re more than programs — we’re a movement. From the heart of Cincinnati’s historically Black neighborhoods, we bring Wi-Fi, digital literacy, and AI-powered tools straight to the block.
Our mission: Close the digital divide — and rewrite the rules. We empower youth, elders, and Black-owned businesses with the skills, resources, and confidence to thrive online. Every workshop, every bus visit, every website we build is a step toward digital equity that lifts up our entire community.
Revive Black is powered by lived experience and community voice. We meet residents where they are, listen to their needs, and co-create solutions that work. Join us as we transform technology from a barrier into a bridge — together.
Revive Black™ is proud to operate under federal trademark protections in both Class 35 (business consulting, leadership development, and marketing services providing business marketing information) and Class 45 (community advocacy and digital equity support through domain name registration services; domain name registrar services; consultancy related to the registration of domain names). Our work is grounded in advancing racial justice, tech access, and economic opportunity for Black communities across the country.

What if I don't have brand assets to provide?There are several options for participants who don't have brand assets for the web buildout.

This is an opportunity for these professionals to boost their portfolio and for program participation to remain free.

May I submit more than one business through the program?If a participant owns more than one business, only one qualifies for the program. Multiple applications by the business owner(s) will result in-eligibility.
