Congratulations to the 200 Small Businesses Awarded the Comcast RISE Investment Fund Grant

In November 2021, Comcast awarded $1 million in grants to 100 small businesses owned by women and people of color, including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Asian American owners, among others, in the Twin Cities. Comcast RISE is part of Comcast’s ongoing effort to advancing digital equity.

In June, 2022 Comcast RISE awarded another $1 million in grants—$10,000 each—to 100 Twin Cities small businesses owned by people of color and all women to help grow their businesses, create jobs, and play a vital role in supporting our communities. Small businesses continue to be the backbone of our economy, and we must take every opportunity to help them thrive.
