Houston, TX <\/strong>\u2013 While many small businesses availed themselves of PPP loans and other types of financial aid and government assistance programs, many impacted micro-businesses did not meet the prerequisites to receive financial aid. Small businesses that lack access to these resources are among thousands of sole proprietors and mom and pop shops in Houston that are now in danger of having to close their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amerant<\/a> has created its new pilot program \u2013 The Amerant Micro-Grant Program <\/strong>\u2013 designed to provide support to those most vulnerable businesses impacted by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Houston, Amerant allocated the program\u2019s funds to LiftFund<\/a>, whose mission is to create and provide resources for small businesses and entrepreneurs who do not have access to loans from commercial sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LiftFund is a designated community development financial institution (CDFI) based in Houston that provides support and creates the means for small businesses, microenterprises, as well as nonprofit organizations, to stabilize and become economically self-sufficient. With Amerant\u2019s support, LiftFund provided recovery grants to local micro and small businesses in the Greater Houston Area, a critical resource during these times of need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe small businesses are vital to our local community, so we are very proud to partner with LiftFund in Houston and allocate the resources they need to their Micro-Business program.\u201d said Francisco Rivero, Executive Vice President of Amerant Bank. \u201cWe recognize that even the smallest financial burden can be debilitating to many small businesses, so we are very pleased to be joining LiftFund in its efforts to help these companies stabilize and make their way through an economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the generous support from Amerant, we have been able to provide financial assistance and resources to small businesses in the Greater Houston area, so they can navigate through the economic impact and challenges the pandemic has had on their business.\u201d Michi Bruns Clay, Regional VP of Houston and East Texas for LiftFund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small businesses play a tremendous role in Houston\u2019s economy, and the pandemic has been forcing many businesses across the country to close or to lay off employees, leaving many in a financial crisis. LiftFund aims to provide financial relief, while providing new opportunities and additional resources for communities to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
