What The Village Map does
The Village Map helps you find and support Black-owned businesses near you. When you search for something the map doesn't have yet, we log that quietly and anonymously, so a neighborhood's unmet demand becomes real evidence a business owner or lender can act on. You're not hitting a dead end; you're helping build what's missing.
Common questions
How do I report a listing that's wrong or inappropriate?
Open the business, tap Report this listing, and choose a reason: permanently closed, wrong information, not Black-owned, or inappropriate content. Your report reaches us within seconds and we act on it quickly.
How do I add a business?
Use the add-a-business option in the app. Every submission is reviewed by a person before it appears publicly, so nothing goes live automatically.
Do I need an account?
No. The Village Map has no accounts and no passwords. You can browse, search, and add businesses without signing up for anything.
How do I stop getting notification emails?
Every email includes a way to opt out, or you can email us at the address above and we'll remove your address right away.
How do I delete my email address from the app?
Email [email protected] and ask us to remove it. We'll take care of it.
What do you collect about me?
As little as possible, and the demand log never records who searched. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
