The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has made $75,000,000 available to support small businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This program targets businesses that focus on reaching markets predominantly made up of socially and economically disadvantaged and historically underrepresented groups, underserved markets, and those owned by minorities, women, veterans, immigrants, first generation immigrants, disabled individuals, or those that identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
MGCC will administer grants up to $75,000 for eligible small businesses, in a geographically equitable manner. With the exception of grants received from Biz-M Power or Empower Digital, any business/business owner who received a grant in 2022 or 2023 from MGCC will be considered ineligible for this initiative.
The portal for applicants is currently open and the deadline closes April 28th, 2023 at 11:59 pm. Follow the link below for more information on the Inclusive Recovery Grant Program by MGCC.
