GEN's Small Business Grants Program (SBGP), with the support of generous partners and sponsors, provides direct financial support to founders around the world. Since launching in 2020 in response to entrepreneur needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has administered over USD 15 million in grants.
These funds have helped founders navigate the darkest days of the pandemic crisis, and the program continues to support entrepreneurs, particularly those from historically-underrepresented communities, with grants to overcome challenges and scale businesses.
