Minority Small Black Business Capitalization Program

MDEAT is committed to supporting the growth and development of Black-owned businesses throughout the county and to advocate for equitable participation in economic opportunities. Since 2009 and dating back to MDEAT’s predecessor agency, Metro Miami Action Plan (MMAP), MDEAT has supported Black businesses through grant funding, marketing support and technical assistance. Throughout MDEAT’s history, the agency has supported small businesses in the form of grants within the County’s designated Targeted Urban Areas (TUAs). Grant recipients are able to use the funds for working capital, payroll, supplies and equipment, and other essential business needs. The grant submission period is only as funds are available.
