This year, the Coramino Fund, a nationwide partnership between LISC, Gran Coramino Tequila, and Kevin Hart to help entrepreneurs serving Black and Latino communities, awarded $10,000 grants to 50 businesses. For Pride Month, Coramino Fund grant recipients Thrive Cakery and Officiant NYC shared how cookie sales and personalized ceremonies support the LGBTQ+ community year-round.

With our partners Gran Coramino® Tequila and Kevin Hart, LISC has awarded $1M in grants to more than 100 Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, helping close wealth and opportunity gaps that limit their ability to grow. Meet our latest group of grantees.

Being a successful entrepreneur is hard if you can’t dream big. That’s why LISC, Gran Coramino and Kevin Hart are teaming up again to offer $10,000 grants to help fuel small business growth for Black and Latinx entrepreneurs who face systemic obstacles to accessing capital.

How cool is this? Today we announce the 50 Black and Latinx-owned small businesses that received $10,000 grants from The Coramino Fund, a grant program of LISC and Kevin Hart’s Gran Coramino™ Tequila. The program provides vital resources to entrepreneurs who have historically faced racial barriers to capital that have limited their ability to grow. Meet the 50 grant recipients!

How exciting is this? Our partnership with Kevin Hart’s Gran Coramino™ Tequila launches today. The Coramino Fund is a new grant program designed to provide critical funding to Black and Latinx entrepreneurs. They have the ideas, the dedication and the dream to open a business for themselves, family and community and we’re proud to join Kevin in supporting their journey.

Gran Coramino Tequila selects LISC to be its first impact partner in the United States. LISC will work with Gran Coramino Tequila and its founders, Kevin Hart and Juan Domingo Beckmann, to help close racial wealth and opportunity gaps for Black and Latinx small businesses.
