Looking for a way to boost your (or a friend’s) local biz?
Applications are open through the end of September for the Minority Business Enterprise Grant Program, a local initiative that provides Black and Latinx-owned small businesses in Forsyth County Grants up to $25,000.
Businesses with 25 or fewer full-time employees and under $1 million in gross annual sales are eligible to apply.
60+ success stories and counting
Since launching the program in 2020, Greater Winston-Salem Inc. and an advisory committee of local minority business leaders have distributed 60+ small business grants, with an average amount of $10,000+.
The goal? Improving long-term business success, job retention, and job creation in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Needless to say, it’s worked out splendidly — fueling significant growth within the minority-owned business community in the four years since.
If you have anyone in mind, send them this way.
