Brooklyn Park, MN — This grant builds on a previous Community Innovation Grant aimed at elevating the profile of microbusinesses, accessing data on needs and practices, and creating a pipeline to resources and funding. This important work is developing and testing an idea that has the potential to transform the ecosystem of support for microbusinesses that have not received adequate visibility or resources to date. ACER will uplift those unmet needs and work to improve the ability of public agencies to provide rapid response to microbusinesses impacted by crises.
