£10k grants available for eligible ethnically diverse-owned small businesses in the UK

Fiserv is giving back to help small businesses get Back2Business with a programme focused on helping to jump-start ethnically diverse owned small businesses in hard-hit communities.

In response to the economic challenges brought on by COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions, AEO will award grants of £10,000 that Fiserv has donated to eligible small businesses in the UK from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

The Back2Business Grant Program is part of a larger Fiserv + Clover initiative to equip ethnically diverse-owned small businesses with vital capital, coaching and learning opportunities to support growth in our communities, creating sustainable business and shared value for all. In addition to grants, the program also includes opportunities for mentorship and access to technology solutions that may help enable revenue generation.

Grant applications are now open for eligible small businesses in the UK. The first grant cycle opened on 24^th June 2021. To learn more visit AEO online at aeoworks.org/fiservuk.
