Wonneda Hing

Wonneda Hing’s Hair salon was one of the many small businesses along University Avenue that lost customers due to the construction of the light rail line.  She was awarded a MicroGrant through the Neighborhood Development Center to expand her marketing and add new products.

“My family and I rely on this business to support our household.  Thank you for getting us through a tough time!”

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.
