In 2020 EC3 small business leaders created the independent East Colfax Small Business Relief Fund to provide direct economic assistance to Small Businesses leaders from Colorado Blvd. to Yosemite Street.
This program arose out of the challenges Small Business Leaders were facing in accessing COVID-19 relief funds and the desire to build a program that is directly accountable to the small business community of the East Colfax corridor.
In 2020 we Distributed $38,000 in $1,000 grants. 90.91% of grant recipients were minority owned. 27.27% were women minority owned 63.64% of grant recipients were multilingual
