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.
