Founded during the economic challenges of the COVID-19 era, AHIG began as a collaborative movement between high-net-worth individuals, nonprofit organizations, and business leaders. Their mission: provide real financial relief to entrepreneurs affected by nationwide shutdowns.
Today, AHIG continues that mission with federal partnership and a growing national community.
