“Providing a World of Business Opportunities”

The Mom and Pop Small Business Grant Program was created to provide financial and technical assistance to qualified for-profit small businesses that are approved for funding. This program has allowed small owned and operated businesses the opportunity to interact with local government under favorable conditions, and this relationship will ultimately bridge the gap between the two entities.

Mom and Pop Grants are administered in collaboration with your Miami-Dade County Commissioner’s Office. For an application please contact Neighbors and Neighbors Association at 305-756-0605 or your respective commissioner’s office. Some commissioners provide additional information about the program on their websites.
