Villa Villekulla Toy Store Selected to Receive Latest Inclusive Backing Grant from American Express

6/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Main Street America is pleased to announce the third round of recipients for the Inclusive Backing Grant Program, presented by American Express, to help underrepresented small business owners who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic recover and thrive. Grants of $5,000 have been awarded to 60 small businesses owned by women, nonbinary people, and U.S. Veterans.

In partnership with Bunker Labs and the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), grantees were selected based on feasibility of project implementation; how the grant would help improve the viability of the business; and the extent to which the grant will help address an acute business need or help a business owner implement innovative solutions to address COVID-19-related challenges.

Funds can be used towards critical needs such as physical and digital improvements, new equipment, technology, and training to support their financial recovery and growth.

This program marks the latest effort in American Express’ “Backing Small” initiative to provide financial support and educational resources to small businesses throughout the pandemic, with other grant programs including the Coalition to Back Black Businesses and Backing Historic Small Restaurants. Backing Small complements American Express’ Shop Small, a global year-round movement to spotlight small, independent businesses.

The fourth round of Inclusive Backing opens today, Tuesday, May 31. This round of Inclusive Backing will provide grants of $5,000 each to small business owners who identify as Native or Indigenous, Hispanic or Latinx, LGBTQ+ or as immigrants, refugees or forcibly displaced. To learn more or apply for the Inclusive Backing grant program, click here.
