Last month, Main Street America announced the fourth round of recipients for the Inclusive Backing Grant Program, presented by American Express — which included a handful of Square Sellers. Congratulations to everyone!
To learn more about these small businesses and how they plan to use the funding, have a look at the American Express news release: American Express and Main Street America Announce Latest “Inclusive Backing” Grantees. For a complete list of recipients, check out Main Street America's blog: Announcing the Latest Inclusive Backing Grant Recipients.
Throughout 2022, the program awarded grants of $5,000 to 120 small business owners who identify as Native or Indigenous, Hispanic or Latinx, LGBTQ+ or as immigrants, refugees or forcibly displaced.
What's next? Main Street America and American Express will continue this partnership in 2023. We'll share more on future application opportunities as information becomes available.
