Comcast Awards $1 Million in Grants to 100 South Florida Minority-Owned Businesses
Comcast has awarded $1 million in grants to 100 small businesses owned by people of color, including Black, Hispanic, Asian American and Indigenous owners, among others, in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, through the Comcast RISE Investment Fund. These recipients were chosen from among thousands of small business owners in South Florida that applied for the $10,000 grants in early October.
Comcast RISE is celebrating its first anniversary since launching in October 2020 as a multi-year, multi-faceted initiative to support small businesses by providing resources and support as many continue to deal with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Investment Fund is an extension of Comcast RISE and to date, has awarded $11 million in grants. Comcast RISE stands for “Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment.”
The 100 South Florida’s Comcast RISE Investment Fund grant recipients are a diverse group including every type of company from accounting, human resources and IT consulting firms
