MHCC Receives $100,000 Grant to Assist Small Business Owners in Lincoln Park

The Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (MHCC), through its 501(c)3 foundation, the Michigan Hispanic Fund, was recently granted $100,000 by the New Economy Initiative (NEI) organization. The MHCC plans to utilize the 12-month grant for the launch of a groundbreaking program called “Adelante Michigan,” which focuses on equipping underserved Hispanic-owned micro businesses in Lincoln Park.

The New Economy Initiative is providing new support for underserved small business owners in Wayne County as it works to build on its success in supporting an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem in Detroit. The organization recently announced more than $3 million in grants to nonprofit business support organizations that work directly with small businesses in underserved populations, including women, immigrants, and people of color.

“Small business owners have tremendous potential to increase wealth in their neighborhoods, but as we saw during the pandemic, they face additional barriers to accessing the capital and resources they need to thrive,” said Wafa Dinaro, executive director of NEI. “We’re working to build a stronger network to support women- and minority-owned businesses. Their success is key to building a more resilient new post-pandemic economy.”

NEI is awarding the grants to nonprofit business support organizations that will provide micro loans, technical assistance such as accounting, legal and marketing services or business plan development, and other assistance directly to small businesses. As part of the effort, 22 nonprofit business support organizations will receive a total of $3.055 million in grants, which individually range from $50,000 to $200,000.

“We are so grateful for the support and partnership with NEI Detroit, who has also been a strong supporter of our organization’s mission,” said Mark Moreno, MHCC Executive Director. “This incredible opportunity will enable us to make a profound and lasting impact on the Lincoln Park community for years to come.”

Adelante Michigan delivers services to close the entrepreneurial gaps, focuses on direct outreach to communities where English is a second language, and targets specific sectors of the underrepresented Hispano/Latino entrepreneurial community. It provides the same access and opportunity to education, networks, technical assistance training, capital, and entrepreneurial skills/competencies resources as other non-Latino communities.

Adelante Michigan supports the needs of underserved small businesses that face bilingual challenges, seeking to close the economic gap, create jobs specific to the needs of the community, promote generational wealth, and drive greater equity toward the socially and economically disadvantaged. This program is open to Hispanic micro-businesses located in Lincoln Park, Wayne County and is set to launch later in July 2023.

The NEI funding is part of an effort originally announced in June and is made possible by support from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, Ford Foundation, Hudson-Webber Foundation, JPMorgan Chase, The Kresge Foundation, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and William Davidson Foundation. Additional grants in support of this initiative will be announced in 2023.

Mensaje especial:

Invitamos cordialmente a la comunidad de emprendedores de Lincoln Park a que se conecten con nosotros si están interesados en descubrir más sobre el programa Adelante. Estamos encantados de compartir los detalles, beneficios y oportunidades disponibles a través de esta iniciativa de empoderamiento. Para más información, contacta Laura Geftos en lgeftos@mhcc.org.

El pasado mes de junio del año 2023, el New Economy Initiative (NEI) otorgó a Michigan Hispanic Fund y a otras organizaciones, una generosa subvención que ayudará a mejorar significativamente la capacidad para ofrecer una amplia gama de servicios a los emprendedores ubicados en Lincoln Park. 

El Fondo Hispano de Michigan perseguirá su misión principal de alentar, apoyar y promover el crecimiento de las empresas hispanas. 

El NEI, es una colaboración filantrópica y un proyecto especial de la Fundación Comunitaria para el Sureste de Michigan que está trabajando para construir una red regional de apoyo para emprendedores y pequeñas empresas. Su misión es desarrollar una cultura empresarial inclusiva en el sureste de Michigan que beneficie a todos los residentes y fortalezca la economía regional. Desde 2009, NEI ha otorgado 650 subvenciones por un total de casi $ 133 millones a organizaciones de apoyo empresarial sin fines de lucro que ayudan a 21,436 empresas mientras aprovechan más de $ 2,6 mil millones en el ecosistema. Fuente: www.neweconomyinitiative.org 

Mark Moreno, Director Ejecutivo de la Cámara de Comercio Hispana de Michigan, utilizará los fondos para iniciar un programa llamado “Adelante Michigan” El programa ayudará a las pequeñas empresas hispanas en Lincoln Park, que están desatendidas. Recalcando así, que las empresas en esta área necesitan ayuda para establecer contactos con líderes empresariales y comunitarios, junto con asistencia en mercado digital, contabilidad, y diversas áreas de enfoque. 

“Adelante Michigan” se enfoca en equipar a las microempresas de propietarios hispanos desatendidos en Lincoln Park con recursos esenciales y apoyo a las empresas en su etapa inicial o existente en el idioma español. Brindándoles recursos esenciales a más de 50 negocios de propiedad hispana con una subvención de $100,000 que recibió del NEI. El propósito de MHCC es ayudar a los pequeños negocios para ayudarlos a crecer de manera rentable y que se vuelvan más sostenibles tales como: 

  • Elementos básicos para comenzar un negocio 
  • Asistencia técnica y entrenamiento para obtener fondos, préstamos, etc 
  • Capacitación en habilidades empresariales 
  • Capacitación para emprendedores 
  • Oportuidades de conexiones y fortalecimiento de relaciones con otras empresas y nuevos emprendedores 

Si eres dueño(a) de tu propio negocio puedes obtener más información en www.mhcc.org
