Moving Flint Forward Small Business Grant Criteria, Past Recipients, and Advisory Committee
The Moving Flint Forward grant program will award 17 grants up to $10,000 each to small businesses that effectively demonstrate needs or opportunities that support business growth, with 75 percent earmarked for minority-owned businesses. The Moving Flint Forward program invites past grantees to apply to receive up to $5,000 each and will award 6 alumni a grant.
The program is designed to help businesses grow and expand, make repairs and leasehold improvements, and/or purchase inventory and equipment. (Funds may not be used for payroll, rent, staffing or mortgage payments. Additionally, debt service on any federal, state or local taxes owed are not eligible expenses for program consideration.) The collaborative effort between GM and the Economic Alliance will help to broaden revitalization efforts beyond the city’s downtown and into the neighborhoods.
All grant applicants must complete the application process and comply with all program requirements. Grantees will be required to meet as a cohort 3-4 times during the grant period to network, provide updates on grant activities, share best practices/lessons learned, receive expert training, and receive technical support.
