Details:
The Mom & Pop Grant Program has not only provided financial support, it has also created a meaningful partnership between District 5 small businesses and my team – as well as between your own businesses. Not only have participants become a part of the D5 network with access to many free resources, workshops, and training – you also become part of each other’s support system and network. To me, this is where the magic and the true value of these programs lives.
While the Mom & Pop Program is offered in each of the 13 Miami-Dade County Commission Districts, this application is only for businesses located within District 5, including parts of the cities of Miami and Miami Beach.
