San Francisco's Office of Economic and Workforce Development has announced $6.3 million in new funding for its small business grant programs, including $50,000-$100,000 to fill vacant storefronts in select neighborhoods and up to $10,000 for new equipment. These programs include the Storefront Opportunity Grant and the SF Shines Equipment Grant. While these grants were initially applied to existing businesses, new businesses may also apply for the new round of funding. The funding aims to help existing storefronts make crucial upgrades and provide new businesses with capital and support to hit the ground running. The grants also cover essential operating costs, tools for growth, compliance, and revitalization.
