The Citizens Committee for New York City is requesting applications for its Neighborhood Business Grant Program.
Donor Name: Citizens Committee for New York City
State: New York
City: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/30/2023
Size of the Grant: up to $10,000
Details:
While small businesses have kept their doors open, there is a significant need for assistance to fund business continuity. This period of recovery is a pivotal point to keep going. They understand that businesses are essential in the fabric of communities. They look for businesses that give back to the community they serve. For example, are you providing hiring opportunities for community members? Do you donate food to local community? Do you partner with community-based organizations? Proposals that focus on both physical and human infrastructure will be prioritized (technical system upgrades, location alterations, hiring support, marketing, training, PPE, etc.). They make grants to barber shops, restaurants, food carts, vegetable stands, eCommerce and other small businesses. Unlike many financial opportunities currently available to small businesses, this program will provide grants rather than loans.
Funding Information
Grants up to $10,000 will fill gaps in funding by prioritizing businesses owned by people of color, immigrants, and women.
