National Pride Grant for LGBTQIA+ Small Businesses

​Join us for an informational webinar with Founders First CDC to learn more about the National Pride Grant for LGBTQIA+ Small Businesses and how your business can apply.

​Hosted by Arrey Philips of Founders First CDC, this session will explore an opportunity designed to support LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs through funding and business development resources.

​The program will award 20 LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs nationwide, with a minimum of three grants designated for members of the MA LGBTQ+ Chamber. Each grant package includes an unrestricted $1,000 micro-grant, access to Founders First’s signature self-paced business program, Passport Community, and the opportunity to apply for their Zebra Leadership Program.

​During the webinar, attendees will learn more about the application process, eligibility requirements, program benefits, and key deadlines, with time for live questions and discussion.

​If you’re looking for funding and support to help grow your business, this is a great opportunity to learn more before applications close on May 26, 2026.
