Every receipt is a vote for the community.
Black Spend helps Sigma members track, verify, and report the money they put into Black-owned businesses — turning individual receipts into a national picture of economic impact.
Every dollar counted is verified by a chapter administrator — no self-reported totals.

How It Works
From receipt to reported impact
Black Spend replaces spreadsheets with a guided flow every chapter can trust.
Record the purchase
A member makes a purchase at a Black-owned business and logs it in the app — snap a photo of the receipt or enter it manually.
Match the business
The purchase is matched to a business in the directory, or flagged for a chapter admin to confirm as a new one.
Chapter review
A chapter administrator verifies the details before the transaction counts toward any total — no self-reported numbers.
Aggregate reporting
Verified spend rolls up into chapter, regional, and national reports members and leadership can both see.
