Summary
A grant opportunity is available to support nonprofits and community organizations focused on economic mobility and small business growth in several U.S. regions. These funds aim to strengthen local economies, especially in underserved and disaster‑impacted communities, by increasing access to capital, supporting workforce development, and encouraging innovative solutions that help entrepreneurs thrive.Eligible applicants include nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, community development financial institutions, and other community‑based intermediaries working to provide loans, mentoring, or technical assistance to small businesses. While individuals and for‑profit businesses do not directly qualify, they may benefit indirectly from programs implemented by eligible partners. Priority is given to organizations serving historically disadvantaged populations, including BIPOC entrepreneurs, or operating within regions such as Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Nashville, and Philadelphia.
Funds can be used to enhance small business lending capacity, launch workforce training initiatives, develop affordable housing, or pilot tech‑driven projects that address gaps in business support ecosystems. The goal is to increase the impact of small business and workforce efforts through targeted community investment.
Grant awards vary widely, ranging from small grants in the tens of thousands of dollars up to large-scale funding in the hundreds of thousands—or even millions—for intermediary partners with demonstrated capacity. Several rounds of funding are available each year, with organizations invited to apply during scheduled grant cycles in spring, summer, and fall. Innovative challenges or competitions may operate on an annual basis. Applications are evaluated based on alignment with goals such as economic justice, community need, program effectiveness, and collaborative impact. Successful recipients not only receive financial backing but may also gain access to peer learning, shared resources, and enhanced visibility within local networks.
This opportunity is ideal for mission-driven nonprofit organizations looking to scale small business support or workforce services in their local communities. By combining flexible capital with programmatic support, this grant empowers organizations to drive sustainable change and strengthen economic opportunity.
