New One Community Microgrant deadline April 24th TOMORROW
The One Community Plan team at Pinellas County Urban League launched its second microgrant program Friday evening, as part of the #InThisTogether COVID Recovery & Resilience Initiative.
The first microgrant program – called #PayItForward St. Pete – was rolled out in late March to support entrepreneurs in the beauty industry which was decimated by social distancing guidelines. The goal is to finalize microgrants with 25 barbers and stylists.
This second microgrant program – called #StrongerTogether – is for businesses in any sector that were hard-hit by the COVID crisis. The project will make at least 20 microgrants of $1,500 each to business owners in South St. Petersburg.
A third and final microgrant program – #4StPete Creatives – will be introduced over the weekend to support entrepreneurs such as graphic designers, painters, digital artists, and other creatives who lost income in the wake of the shutdowns.
