To help small businesses and local nonprofits regain stability after the COVID-19 pandemic, San Francisco kicked off a program providing $11.4 million in grants, city officials announced Tuesday.
According to a news release from the office of Mayor London Breed, the aim of the program is to help stabilize and grow struggling small businesses and nonprofits with grants to train and establish new and existing entrepreneurs, develop new programming, organize festivals and events, recruit new businesses and offer technical assistance to small businesses.
“This funding not only provides much-needed financial support to our city’s merchant corridors during a time when so many people are eager to be out, but it offers our cultural institutions another opportunity to showcase San Francisco’s incredible diversity to both residents and visitors,” Breed said in a statement.
