Black Entrepreneurs and Small Business Program
The Manitoba government and Manitoba Chambers of Commerce are accepting grant applications for the Manitoba Black Entrepreneurs and Small Business Program. The program aims to help Manitoba Black-owned and Black-led small businesses overcome obstacles, address barriers, facilitate growth, and create jobs.
Manitoba entrepreneurs and small business owners who self-identify as part of the Black community are eligible to apply for one project grant annually, between $5,000 and $20,000.
The grants will be awarded depending on the specific needs and merits of the application, with focus on three main areas:
- Training on capital acquisition;
- Assistance with building connections to experienced professionals; and
- Building capacity through skills development
Application deadline: July 4, 2025
