Call for Proposals: Incubator Partners to Advance Local Women, Immigrant, and Minority-Owned Businesses and Aid in COVID-19 Recovery<\/span><\/h4>\n

There is no question that COVID-19 has most strongly impacted small businesses and their employees. At FOUND\/LA, we remain steadfast in our commitment to find and fund partners who are providing education, resources, mentorship, and\/or coaching to these entrepreneurs to help their existing businesses thrive. We are hoping to identify organizations who are already running programs that provide educational support for local entrepreneurs. Grants will be for a one-year pilot to help us get to know the organizations and the communities where they work before potentially establishing a longer-term, multi-year grant.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”68.1%” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|0px|40px|0px|false|true” custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|false” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”#808080″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_align=”center” module_alignment=”center”]<\/p>\n
