Mounting concerns about public safety are resulting in significant workforce shortages and negative economic and revenue impacts. Many businesses have even needed to close temporarily, further exacerbating income losses for business owners and their employees, impacting once vibrant neighborhoods. 

We are proud to support small businesses through the Economic Response Fund. This fund is administered by the Minneapolis Foundation and will provide short-term stabilization grants to Minnesota businesses that have experienced operational disruptions in recent weeks. Grants will help address urgent needs caused by reduced revenue, workforce disruptions, temporary closures, or safety and security concerns. 

You will be asked to set up a portal with the Minneapolis Foundation. The application will be available once you do that.
