The City of Alexandria has contributed funds to support the 2024 Small Business Resiliency (SBR) Grant program to provide vital assistance to Alexandria's small businesses. Eligible businesses can receive up to $7,000 in grant assistance through the program.
Administered by the Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC), the program aims to assist businesses in overcoming challenges in accessing essential resources. The City’s contribution underscores its commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and nurturing a thriving business environment.
Applications will be accepted through the LEDC website from Tuesday, May 28, through Tuesday, June 18. That is also where you can learn about the SBR Grant program, eligibility, and selection criteria.
The City will be providing space for LEDC to host two engagement opportunities — one virtual and one in person — for interested parties to learn more about the program, ask questions, and receive assistance:
