Apply for a Business for All Grant
To ensure Business for All, Hello Alice with the support of Verizon, Silicon Valley Bank, Ebay Foundation, UBS, Visible, and Stacy’s Rise Project offered $10,000 emergency grants to small business owners impacted by the pandemic. We are proud to be distributing over $1.5 million in funds to 154 awardees of the COVID-19 Business for All Emergency Grant, which has closed for applications. Owners can now submit for the general Business for All program, which offers exclusive mentorship opportunities and grants of up to $50,000 to support long-term business growth. Applications are open through September 25, and recipients will be announced later this fall.
Learn more about how grants are awarded and the opportunities for Hispanic business owners.
