Belen

Belen combines her Argentinian heritage with her food service background in her pop-up shop, Quebracho Charcuterie and Pies. She came to MicroGrants through NEON, the Northside Economic Opportunity Network.

She says,“I was awarded a $1,000 grant, which I used to buy a prep sandwich unit. It was an amazing gift. Thanks to that, we were able to grow our business during the first two months.”

September 2026 Program Update

MicroGrants grantmaking is currently paused as we work through internal operations and determine next steps for the program.

For our partner agencies: We will continue to share updates directly with you as more information becomes available.

For individuals seeking a grant: MicroGrants does not distribute grants directly to individuals. Our grants are distributed through nonprofit partner agencies that identify and support eligible recipients. If you are seeking financial assistance, we recommend contacting one of our partner agencies directly to learn about available resources and eligibility.
