Apply for the quarterly Thrive Grant–designed specifically to support small businesses making a positive impact.
The Thrive Grant application for this quarter’s cycle is now closed. We encourage you to apply in the next grant cycle.
Your Business Matters
Small businesses keep our communities alive and vibrant.
They lead job creation in the US, significantly contribute to the economy, are continuously at the helm of innovation, and contribute to shaping the unique culture and personality of neighborhoods.
It’s safe to say, successful small businesses and healthy communities go hand in hand.
And if you’re a small business owner making a difference, we want to support your good work.
That’s why every quarter we award a $5,000 grant to an entrepreneur who is having a positive impact in an underrepresented community.
Real Stories. Real Change.
