Grants Available to Small Business Owners
Entrepreneurs of color and women business owners can apply for new grants of up to $25,000 to help grow their businesses.
The grants are being offered through a partnership between Hello Alice and the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN). Funding for the Small Business Growth Fund is from the Etsy Uplift Fund and Progressive Insurance.
Recipients will receive grants of $5,000 to $25,000 to advance their growth and achieve their goals this year. The Etsy Uplift Fund is an initiative of the global online marketplace, Etsy. The fund is geared to support non-profits working to dismantle barriers to entrepreneurship. It too is designed to support entrepreneurs looking to gain economic independence as small and micro businesses.
The initial round of applications is now open and runs through April 21. Grant applicants must meet several criteria to be eligible. Grantees must be for-profit businesses in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia with under $1 million in 2022 revenue. They must have a commitment to their customers, community, and show how the funding will help them grow this year.
