Small Business Grants
The economic impact of COVID-19 has been catastrophic for countless small businesses. Under-invested communities have especially been hit hard, putting their local small businesses at serious risk. These enterprises are the lifeblood of communities, providing critical goods and services as well as jobs to locals. Small businesses desperately need emergency assistance to bridge the gap and stay afloat until the crisis passes.
In an effort to help these locally owned - and loved - businesses survive the current crisis and sustain their operations for the long-term, LISC has worked with partners to create local and national grant programs.
