WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Education Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization affiliated with the United States Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce (USHCC), and Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and
delivery marketplace, have opened applications for the USHCC &
Grubhub Restaurant Small Business Grant Program. The program is
supported by proceeds from Grubhub's Donate the Change Program, and
grants will range from $5,000 to $10,000.
Nearly 300 grants will be given to eligible Hispanic-owned
restaurants across the country, including in Philadelphia, Boston, New
York, Los Angeles,
Houston, Dallas, San
Antonio, Chicago,
El Paso, Phoenix, San
Diego and San Jose.
"As our restaurant industries work to re-open their doors and
look towards recovering, they'll need access to the resources and
tools offered by the USHCC national network, now more than ever
before," said Ramiro A. Cavazos,
President & CEO, USHCC. "Many of the Hispanic-owned
restaurants who managed to stay open and not completely shut down,
are looking for guidance and support as we work to jumpstart the
economy and get people back to work. We are excited to partner with
Grubhub on this important initiative and applaud these efforts to
support minority-owned restaurants who are struggling so much
during the pandemic."
"Small businesses have faced a disproportionately difficult 18
months, and it's crucial that we support them to ensure they remain
part of the fabric in our communities," said Kevin Kearns, senior vice president of
restaurants at Grubhub. "We are proud to work with the USHCC and
provide this much needed support to Hispanic-owned restaurants in
their recovery efforts."
Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month, the USHCC was named the
official partner of Grubhub's Donate the Change program, which has
raised tens of millions of dollars for organizations in need since
launching in late 2018. The partnership welcomed Grubhub and
Seamless diners to opt-in, round up their order total and donate
the difference, with the company matching eligible donations from
Grubhub+ members.
Starting today through January 26,
the USHCC & Grubhub Restaurant Small Business Grant Program
will accept applications from eligible Hispanic-owned restaurants.
To qualify for a grant, Hispanic-owned restaurants must satisfy the
following requirements: The restaurant must be majority
Hispanic-owned and have an active EIN number, have less than 20
full-time employees and have been in operation for at least nine
months from the date that they complete the application form.
