In celebration of Hispanice Heritage Month, we provided (6) mini-grants, ranging from $500 – $5,000 to Latinx-owned startups and small businesses located in Allegheny County. We also be awarded (1) mini-grant of $500 to an aspiring Latinx youth entrepreneur! To qualify, local business owners had to complete a quick form and submit a 2-minute video for a chance to win a mini-grant to use toward a future growth goal. The deadline to submit a video has passed, but we’re excited to announce that the program will return again in 2024. Keep scrolling to learn more about about the program and who won!
