Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce Small Business Grant
Thank you for your interest in applying for an Elevate Together small business grant. The deadline to submit your application is Friday, July 5 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
ELEVATE TOGETHER™ powered by Round It Up America is a nonprofit initiative designed to address systemic discrimination and historical racial disparities in business growth and profitability in Black and Hispanic communities. Through a partnership with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the National Urban League and other community partners, the initiative helps support Hispanic and Black-owned small businesses with five or less employees. The ODP Corporation (parent company to Office Depot, ODP Business Solutions and Veyer) is the initiative’s founding partner.
- The applicant must be a small business with 5 or less full-time employees.
- The applicant must be a majority Black or Hispanic-owned business with an active EIN number.
- The business must have been in operation for at least 9 months from the date that you complete this form.
Typical grant awards range from $5,000 – $10,000 in cash grants and in-kind donations of Office Depot gift cards per business. In addition to a cash grant and in-kind support, small business mentoring is an essential part of being an Elevate Together recipient. Small businesses selected to receive an Elevate Together award must participate in three mentorship sessions with SCORE before receiving a cash grant (though mentorship is intended to be longer-term).
