The South Mpls Collective: BIPOC Small Business Grant is available to help locally-owned, Black, Indigenous, and/or Person of Color-owned small businesses in the South Minneapolis area that have sustained physical damage as a result of the uprising following the killing of George Floyd in addition to COVID-19 pandemic hardships. Grant amounts will be determined on a sliding scale by a combination of the amount requested, the demonstrated need, and the number of total applicants requesting funds.
Funding AmountFunding for this grant is limited. The maximum amount that can be requested by each applicant is $10,000. We know the need in our small business community far surpasses the amount available. We will do our best to connect applicants with other sources of aid whether or not they become a recipient of this grant.
Funding for this grant opportunity comes from the Minneapolis Foundation's OneMpls: REBUILD grant in addition to individual, small-dollar donations raised by members of the Collective. |
