In historically excluded communities, and for people living on low incomes, longstanding inequities have barred them from developing strong banking relationships. While LISC primarily invests in small businesses through loans, sometimes direct grants are the most effective way of addressing this lack of capital access.
LISC has responded to this challenge through a range of small business grant programs, typically paired with technical assistance and supportive programming to help entrepreneurs move to the next stage and plan for the ones after that. We’re not new to this work: when the pandemic hit in 2020, small businesses desperately needed emergency assistance to bridge revenue gaps and stay afloat.
Over the past few years, LISC and its partners stepped in, delivering $270 million in relief grants to some 26,000 small businesses, the vast majority of them owned or run by historically excluded entrepreneurs. These grants helped cover payroll, debt to vendors, upgrade tech, and provided emergency cash assistance. You can support small business owners by connecting them to the capital they need to succeed.
