Capital can be the difference between a small business keeping its doors open and closing them. Through Connecting Capital to Community, Allapattah CDC helps local entrepreneurs access the funding and guidance to grow on their own terms, and stay rooted in the neighborhood they helped build. Meet Senia of Tipico Centroamericano, this is what it looks like to invest in our own.

Hurricane season is here, and Allapattah small businesses showed up to get ready. Last week we hosted Prepárate para la Temporada de Huracanes, a hands-on workshop helping local entrepreneurs protect their business before the next storm.

With Barbara Martinez-Guerrero of Dream in Green, the City of Miami, and Miami-Dade County, we covered real preparedness: building an emergency plan, keeping operations running through a disruption, and simple energy, water, and waste changes that cut costs and build resilience. Registered participants went home with free emergency kits.

One short closure can cost a small business its income, inventory, and stability. Preparation is protection.

Missed this one? Follow along so you don't miss the next workshop.

Llegó la temporada de huracanes, y las pequeñas empresas de Allapattah llegaron listas para prepararse. La semana pasada realizamos Prepárate para la Temporada de Huracanes, un taller práctico para ayudar a los negocios locales a protegerse antes de la próxima tormenta.

Junto a Barbara Martinez-Guerrero de Dream in Green, la Ciudad de Miami y el Condado de Miami-Dade, cubrimos preparación real: crear un plan de emergencia, mantener tu negocio operando durante una interrupción, y ajustes sencillos de energía, agua y residuos que reducen costos y fortalecen tu resiliencia. Los participantes registrados se llevaron kits de emergencia gratuitos.

Una sola interrupción, aunque sea breve, puede costarle a un negocio sus ingresos, su inventario y su estabilidad. Prepararse es protegerse.

Happy 4th of July from The Allapattah Collaborative CDC (ACDC) 🇺🇸

Today, Allapattah steps onto the national stage. This year America turns 250, and our community's story is woven right into it.

Many Voices, One Nation: En Nuestras Palabras is officially open at the Coral Gables Museum. Developed with the Smithsonian Institution and Florida Humanities. Built from the stories of our community. Told in our own words.

Swipe through a few moments from our past: the people, the streets, and the everyday life that built Allapattah. Those who were here first. Those who came seeking new beginnings. Out of many, one.

Come see it. Bring your family. Share your story.

Our heritage matters because it gives us a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose. It connects us to the people, traditions, and experiences that shaped who we are. At ACDC we are constantly working to make sure we preserve those stories and the people and places that connect us. And now there's national recognition to prove it. Allapattah CDC has received the Nuestra Herencia Award from Latinos in Heritage Conservation, and we are the only organization in Florida selected this cycle.

Chosen from 159 applications, this national grant supports the preservation of our heritage. For us, it strengthens the very foundation of our work: the team and the long-term resources we need to protect Little Santo Domingo, Miami's only historically Dominican neighborhood.

Preservation starts with strong organizations rooted in their communities. We're proud to be one of them.
----------------------------

Nuestra herencia importa porque nos da un sentido de identidad, pertenencia y propósito, nos conecta con las personas, las tradiciones y las experiencias que han dado forma a quienes somos. En ACDC trabajamos constantemente para preservar esas historias, así como las personas y los lugares que nos mantienen conectados con nuestras raíces. Y ahora hay un reconocimiento nacional que lo confirma. Allapattah CDC ha recibido el Premio Nuestra Herencia de Latinos in Heritage Conservation, y somos la única organización en Florida seleccionada en este ciclo.

Elegidos entre 159 solicitudes, esta subvención nacional apoya la preservación de la herencia latina. Para nosotros, fortalece la base misma de nuestro trabajo: el equipo y la capacidad a largo plazo que necesitamos para proteger el Pequeño Santo Domingo, el unico barrio históricamente dominicano de Miami.

La preservación comienza con organizaciones fuertes y arraigadas en sus comunidades. Nos enorgullece ser una de ellas.
