On Thursday, January 28, 2021, the Bay Area Entrepreneur Center held an awards ceremony for sixteen local businesses, awarded grants through the Micro Grant Program. Businesses were awarded over $4000 each and received group and one-on-one business coaching, as part of a technical assistance program called the Small Business Recovery & Assistance Program. This unique program was funded by a San Bruno Community Foundation grant, awarded to the BAEC to support small and local businesses in San Bruno, in their recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the efforts of this program and with the work of BAEC team and community partners, micro grants totaling $65,000 have been awarded and over 100 San Bruno businesses have been served and supported. This program officially launched in the summer of 2020, and continues to assist businesses.
