The purpose of this grant program is to help diversely owned small businesses and non-profit organizations own more of their assets, such as property, equipment, and technology. It is our belief that ownership allows for greater impact of one’s hard work and investment. We salute small business owners and non-profit organizers for their tremendous efforts to impact our local communities.

HIGHLIGHTS
Wells Fargo Open for Business Grant Launch
HOUSTON
The Houston Fund for Social Justice and Economic Equity announced the launch of the Open for Business Grant portal to distribute $20 million to Houston-area diverse small business and non-profit organizations.
“Opening this portal is an incredible step towards the progress we initiated in May 2021 when we established the Houston Fund for Social Justice and Economic Equity. We are providing access to much-needed funds for Houston’s small businesses of color and non-profits that focus on leveling the playing field. It will empower their work, allow them to thrive, extend their reach, and support innovation,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Thanks to corporate partnerships, we have come a long way in a short time and are now funding foundational change in the Houston community.”
