About The Grant
The PROMISE Act grant program, initiated by the Minnesota Legislature in 2023, aims to assist small businesses in stabilizing and growing their operations. This grant is specifically designed for businesses located within the Initiative Foundation’s 14-county and two Native nation region, ensuring that support reaches those who need it most. The program plays a crucial role in fostering economic resilience and providing resources to help local businesses thrive.
Eligible businesses could receive grants ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, tailored to their gross revenue from the previous tax year. Those that demonstrate financial distress, such as a decline in revenue or those who received minimal pandemic relief, will be prioritized, thereby targeting support efficiently where it is most needed.
