Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) and Point32Health are collaborating to support small businesses in Fall River and New Bedford that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We know that small minority-, immigrant-, and women-owned businesses have been particularly hard hit by the current public health crisis, and Point32Health is generously underwriting small business support providing a one-time $1,000 grant to twenty (20) qualifying small businesses whose eligibility is confirmed by LCR | BizGrow. We will get needed funds to selected small businesses quickly, through the streamlined application process below. Please fill out this form to apply today!

Priority will be given to small minority-, immigrant-, and women-owned businesses that have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and will use the grant to cover expenses related to that. Your business must be located in New Bedford or Fall River in order to apply.
