Micro-Enterprise Grants for Providence
This Fund is now open. Applicants must first complete a pre-screening questionnaire in English  or in Spanish. For more information on qualifications click here.
State Microenterprise (MicroE) Stabilization Grant Program
This program is designed to assist small businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 and left out of federal stimulus programs. The program offers grants of up to $5,000 to qualifying microenterprises. Funds may be used for working capital to cover business costs, such as rent, staffing, utilities. To qualify, you must be a bona fide business entity with up to five employees in a participating municipality and one or more of the business’s employees must be an owner. The total household income of the business owner must be 80% or less of their area median income (AMI). AMI chart by region here. If your business is in a participating town, reach out to the corresponding representative listed here for each town here.
LISC Small Business Relief Grants
Small businesses across the country, the backbone of our nation’s economy, are facing potentially devastating economic pressure as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Financial assistance at this critical time can make the difference between staying in business, or closing permanently. Thanks to support from a variety of funders, we are providing grants to small businesses to help them keep functioning and remain vital facets of their local economies.
