Last year, GrantWatch.com<\/a> released the new grant category BIPOC<\/a>. The acronym BIPOC refers to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. It should be noted, that recent studies have revealed Black individuals and businesses face 6% more hardships in acquiring capital funding. As a result, a number of funding sources have emerged with the goal of closing this gap and making entrepreneurship more equitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Grants for BIPOC Business Owners<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> In-kind services and up to $10,000<\/a> is now open to small businesses to mitigate the damage of the COVID-19 pandemic. This grant is to help benefit entrepreneurs from BIPOC communities, women, immigrants, and others who have historically had limited access to financing for their business. (Deadline is soon: May 27, 2022)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> In-kind support<\/a> of marketing and technology services are available to BIPOC-owned small businesses in eligible states. While no monetary award is given, the in-kind marketing services are worth $10,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> BIPOC-owned small businesses can apply for micro-grants for capacity-building initiatives<\/a>. Furthermore, the winner of the micro-grant winner will be selected randomly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Black business owners may be eligible for up to $10,000 in financial assistance<\/a> and the opportunity to participate in a business accelerator program. The purpose of the program is to help foster entrepreneurial growth for Black business owners and facilitate their success as sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. <\/strong>Black hospitality workers may be eligible for grants to support mental health services<\/a>. This funding is to assist individuals working in the food and beverage industry to receive money for mental health services during the COVID-19 crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grants to BIPOC Students & Entrepreneurs<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> Up to $2,500<\/a> and in-kind consultation services is now open to a high school senior, university, or trade school student to pursue entrepreneurial aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> Autistic adults and youth of color may apply for grants of up to $500<\/a>. This funding is for personal, professional, emergency, medical, academic and artistic needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.<\/strong> Grants of up to $2,500 and in-kind services are open to entrepreneurs to start or expand<\/a> their business. This funding is to support business start-up or growth-related costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.<\/strong> Currently, there is an opportunity to entrepreneurs of color to participate in an accelerator program<\/a>. The graduates will go on to participate in an investment accelerator or raise a seed round of up to $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.<\/strong> Finally, grants of up to $10,000 plus in-kind support<\/a> is now available to Black women entrepreneurs. However, this funding is awarded only to support difference-making ideas and projects that break down barriers caused by racial inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
