Summary
A funding opportunity exists for Black-owned small businesses located across various U.S. states and territories, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This program targets for-profit businesses with between 3 and 20 employees that operate in economically underserved communities. Nonprofits and individuals are not eligible to apply.
The funding is offered in two levels: an initial grant of $5,000 awarded to many qualifying small businesses, and a follow-up enhancement grant of $25,000 available to a select group of recipients who demonstrate strong growth potential and community impact. The smaller grants are distributed widely, while the larger awards are more selective and intended to support significant business development. Grant funds are intended to be used for capital investments such as purchasing equipment, expanding inventory, enhancing marketing efforts, or making facility improvements. The larger grants support deeper growth initiatives including technology upgrades, facility expansion, or other strategic investments that can help a business scale sustainably.
This opportunity is available annually, with applications typically opening mid-year and awards announced later in the year. In addition to funding, recipients often receive access to mentorship and peer networks aimed at strengthening their business capabilities and long-term success. The program’s purpose is to foster economic resilience, reduce wealth disparities, and encourage sustainable entrepreneurship in historically underserved areas. Eligible businesses that meet the ownership, size, and location requirements are encouraged to apply during the application cycle. The funding seeks to provide not only immediate financial support but also to empower businesses to create lasting community impact and economic growth.
