SHF Holdings Inc., doing business as Safe Harbor Financial (NASDAQ: SHFS), announced a partnership with BIPOCann, a Denver-based consulting firm aiding social equity and minority entrepreneurs in the cannabis sector.
BIPOCann will offer its full suite of membership benefits, valued at $600, to all of Safe Harbor’s existing social equity clients at no additional cost. BIPOCann members will receive a 75% discount on application fees for financial services, complementing Safe Harbor’s existing social equity discount program.
To further support minority-owned businesses, Golden-based Safe Harbor is launching a new webinar series focused on social equity and small operators across the country. The first session, titled “Navigating Social Equity in Cannabis with BIPOCann & Safe Harbor Financial: Cannabis Banking Solutions,” will take place on Aug. 21, featuring participation from BIPOCann representatives and members. This monthly series aims to provide insights and resources on topics such as rescheduling, legal issues, lending, and capital, helping these businesses overcome barriers and accelerate growth.
Sundie Seefried, CEO of Safe Harbor, said “We’re excited to team up with BIPOCann to help create an inclusive, equitable cannabis industry. By combining our expertise and resources, we aim to provide these businesses with the financial support and tools they need to thrive. This collaboration not only reinforces our dedication to social equity but also sets a benchmark for the industry, demonstrating how targeted support can drive meaningful change.”
