Many Downtown Raleigh storefront businesses continue to be affected by the impacts of COVID-19. DRA has created a pivot grant program to assist businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19 and give them the opportunity to shift their business model to accommodate uncertain changes.
DRA hosted a grant workshop webinar to share more details about the grant program and learn from downtown businesses who have pivoted their business model due to COVID-19 impacts. We hope to better understand the opportunities, challenges and successes they have faced and explore ways to better support the ever-changing climate of Downtown Raleigh’s business community. FAQ will be added to the Grant page.
Downtown Raleigh Alliance and Black Dollar presented a virtual small business workshop focused on women and minority business support, resources and strategies to reopen during COVID-19. Speakers shared their perspectives, expertise and advice on financial resources available, opening safely and supporting employees and marketing to restore consumer confidence.
