Supporting Economic Vitality for Small Business Owners
In partnership with American Express, the Backing Small Businesses grant program supports economically vulnerable and under-resourced small businesses with community reach and/or cultural significance. This year, eligible small business owners can apply for $10,000 grants for projects that grow or improve their businesses by building community, supporting their economic viability, or bolstering meaningful change.
Applications will be accepted from March 14, 2024, through April 7, 2024, at 11:59 pm CT. The application period may end early if 5,000 applications have been submitted before the deadline.
