The Sustaining Small Businesses and COVID-19 Relief Grant Program is intended to help selected woman- and minority-owned businesses.
The Urban League has been providing education and training for startups and small minority-owned businesses through its entrepreneurial assistance center for 25 years. It recently partnered with the ESL Federal Credit Union Charitable Foundation to provide the relief program for those affected by the pandemic.
Chantz Miles, the Urban League’s director of business development, said ESL was excited to assist with their efforts.
“We connected with them and explained what we’re looking to do and how the Urban League is looking to support the businesses within the community, and ESL was all about it,” said Miles.
