We are excited to announce that applications are now open for a series of grants for local businesses celebrating LGBTQ & Allied business resilience as part of the return of the NGLCC (National LGBT Chamber of Commerce) Community Impact Grant Program in 2024, in partnership with Golden Gate Business Association (GGBA) and supported by the Grubhub Community Fund.
These grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, offer funding for various purposes, such as enhancing security measures, acquiring new equipment, engaging in community initiatives, marketing, and PR efforts, bolstering digital and e-commerce presence, procuring products, implementing staff training programs, supporting employee wages and incentives, maintaining or upgrading existing infrastructure, and more.
For some historical context, in 2023, GGBA was able to award $80,000 in grants to fifteen local eateries thanks to NGLCC and the Grubhub Community Fund! Our goal for 2024 is to increase the award amounts to over $100K for the San Francisco Bay Area.
This West grant application is open now through June 25, 2024. For more information and to apply: https://bit.ly/3XjjlRd
