Small businesses are the heart of our community, and we’re excited to help share this opportunity from the Glazer Family Small Business Fund.

The Glazer Family, owners of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has announced an additional investment in the Fund, bringing the total impact to $1.6 million since 2024. Through partnerships with local Chambers, including the Manatee Chamber of Commerce, nearly 300 small businesses across the Tampa Bay region have already received support.

This new round of funding is focused on helping small businesses navigate challenges and setbacks.

To apply, businesses must:
• Be a registered business operating for at least 12 months
• Not have previously received a grant from the Fund
• Demonstrate a clear need for strategic capital to recover from setbacks or challenges

Applications are now open, with recipients expected to be announced in late June.
