Now in its fourth year, Comcast RISE has
awarded 13,500 small businesses nationwide over $125 million in
monetary, marketing, and technology grants to date
Today, Comcast announced a new round of 100 businesses in
Richmond, Virginia will receive comprehensive grant packages that
include business coaching sessions, education resources, a $5,000
monetary grant, creative production, media schedules, and
technology makeovers. Comcast RISE is committed to supporting the
growth of all small businesses, while advancing the objectives of
diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as community investment.
The program is built to help businesses and their communities
thrive with a focus on economic growth.
Beginning on May 1, and through May 31, eligible businesses in
Richmond can apply for a grant package at www.ComcastRISE.com. A
total of 100 grants per city, or 500 grants overall, will be
announced in August 2024, bringing the total number of recipients
to 14,000.
“Small businesses are the lifeblood of Richmond’s past, present
and future,” said Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney. “We’re thrilled to
have the Comcast RISE program returning to our great city and want
to thank Comcast for its continued investment in our small business
community.”
Comcast RISE was created in November 2020 to help small
businesses hardest hit by COVID-19, from bakeries and barber shops
to childcare centers and cleaning services, by providing the grants
needed to survive and recover.
“As a former Comcast RISE recipient, I know just how impactful
this grant package will be in helping Richmond small business
owners grow,” said Joye B. Moore, Founder of JOYEBELLS, a
family-run business based in Richmond whose tasty desserts are
quickly expanding to new locations across the country. “Thanks to
our TV commercial being placed into rotation with the grant we
received through Comcast RISE, we really boosted our awareness in
Richmond and beyond, which helped play a crucial role in the
successful launch of our food products in more than 2,100 stores
nationwide.”
The program has evolved from helping businesses survive the
pandemic, to helping businesses and their communities thrive with a
focus on economic growth.
Grant packages will include:
COACHING SESSIONS – Business
assessment and coaching that provide business owners with
recommendations on how to help grow their businesses.
EDUCATION RESOURCES – 12-month access
to online entrepreneurship courses, learning modules and resources
for small business owners.
MONETARY GRANT – $5,000 monetary
grant.
CREATIVE PRODUCTION & MEDIA –
Professionally produced 30-second TV commercial, a 180-day linear
media schedule, and a media strategy consultation. (Taxes and other
fees may apply for production and media services.)
TECHNOLOGY MAKEOVER – Computer
equipment and Internet, Voice and Cybersecurity services for 12
months. (Taxes and other fees may apply for tech makeover
services.)
In addition, any small business owner can visit the Comcast RISE
destination on X1 featuring aggregated small business news, tips,
insights, and more. Just say “Comcast RISE” into the voice
remote.
“We’ve seen the tremendous impact of Comcast RISE on
entrepreneurs nationwide since the program launched in late 2020,
and we’re excited to deepen our commitment to the small business
community in Richmond,” said Ray Roundtree, Senior Vice President
of Comcast’s Beltway Region.
Comcast RISE is part of Project UP, the company’s $1 billion
commitment to advance digital equity through programs and community
partnerships that connect people to the Internet, advance economic
mobility and open doors for the next generation of innovators,
entrepreneurs, storytellers and creators.
