Eligible organizations include non-profit, private, public, and faith-based entities. Partnerships between organizations are encouraged to facilitate comprehensive service delivery.

This initiative aims to serve as a vital support resource for entrepreneurs, aligning with a mission to strengthen the local economy through business capacity expansion and enhanced resilience.

Specifically, 25 businesses will be selected to participate in the full program and receive grant awards upon completion. An additional 10 businesses will participate in the workshop series only, with potential eligibility for grants if extra funds become available. The primary impact goal is to propel these businesses toward success and sustainability, resulting in tangible expansion of business capacity and increased resilience against economic challenges. Program selection and awards are determined by a committee using specific criteria that define the priorities and focus areas. Priority is given to businesses located in low-to-moderate income areas, ensuring the program reaches historically underserved parts of the city. Additionally, the selection process prioritizes representation across multiple sectors and assesses business readiness and the potential impact of program participation. These priorities suggest a strategic focus on equitable economic development and maximizing the return on investment through supporting ready and impactful enterprises. The expected outcomes include the expansion of business capacity and increased resilience for the 25 selected grant recipients. Measurable results are tied to the completion of the 12-week workshop series and the application/disbursement of the $10,000 grants.
