We are excited to announce that applications will open on February 15 for a series of grants for local businesses celebrating LGBTQ & Allied business resilience as part of the return of the NGLCC Community Impact Grant Program in 2023, in partnership with the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber and supported by the Grubhub Community Fund.
The grants are expected to range from $10,000 to $25,000 and funds can be used for things like updating security and security protocols, updating/purchasing new equipment, community involvement, marketing and PR services, updating digital/e-commerce presence, purchasing product, staff training programs, employee pay and/or staff incentivized wages, COVID-19 recovery, and maintenance/updating of current infrastructure, etc.
We'll be doing a webinar on February 9 to provide an overview for Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce members on the program and prepare you to apply.
To be eligible for the Community Impact Grant, applicants must:
- Be an LGBTQ+-owned or LGBTQ+ ally-owned restaurant, bar or café that serves food.
- Provide proof that you are an LGBTQ+-owned or allied establishment.
Please note: Partnership with NGLCC or Grubhub is not a requirement for application.
