Eligible businesses in Chicago and Cook County can apply March 1 – 14 for a $10,000 grant; 100 recipients will be selected.

The Comcast RISE Investment Fund is focused on small businesses that have been in business for three or more years with one to 25 employees. “Comcast RISE is designed to give BIPOC-owned small businesses tools to not only survive the pandemic, but thrive afterward,” said Jeff Cobb, Regional Vice President of Comcast Business. “We’re pleased to be able to make these resources available in Chicago and Cook County, which is home to one of the most pandemic-impacted small-business communities in the nation.”
