NEW GRANT PROGRAM HELPS ENTREPRENEURS OF COLOR, WOMEN, LGBTQ+, VETERANS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
The Source Grow Grant prioritizes sectors that were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic – hospitality, food service, arts and entertainment, retail trade, transportation, warehousing, childcare and social assistance, as well as accommodations. The hope is the grant money and business advising to people in these sectors from these communities will help close the racial wealth and opportunity gap. The funds for the Source Grow Grant were provided by the American Rescue Plan Act.
