Applications for the Comcast Rise Support For Small Businesses is currently open. This is your chance to apply.
Recently, small businesses have been dealing with the ongoing impact of the pandemic, social unrest, and environmental events. Small businesses owned by people of colour have been some of the hardest hit.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, between February and April 2020, the number of active Black-owned businesses declined by 41%, Latino-owned businesses declined by 32%, and Asian-owned businesses dropped by 25%, versus just 21% for the general population. Comcast Rise was created to invest in the success of these critical businesses by providing valuable and practical support.
The body is committed to supporting small businesses that the economic impact of the pandemic has hit the hardest.
