Shontay

Shontay came to MicroGrants through the Black Women’s Wealth Alliance. She owns a plant nursery that grows, raises, and sells plants and flowers. She had just started her business when COVID hit, which was devastating to such a new and small business. Receiving a grant has given Shontay a chance to be successful going forward.

“The grant helped me to stay in business. I wouldn’t be open and thriving right now if I hadn’t gotten the grant then. I am so grateful.”

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.
