Inner City Capital Connections

Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC) is an Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) program that positions inner-city businesses for long-term success.

“ICCC helped us to reevaluate our sales and marketing strategy and increase our competitor analysis to catapult the growth of our business.” - Deborah Schimberg, Glee Gum

Economic growth means investing directly in the diverse small businesses that anchor our neighborhoods. We are proud to amplify Rally LA, an initiative designed to provide capital, capacity building, and connections to small business owners.

The first cohort is focusing on Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA). If you operate an independent storefront in DTLA with under 50 employees, you could be eligible for a cash grant and extensive marketing support. The application is designed to be highly accessible, mobile friendly, and takes under an hour.

Let’s ensure our community-owned businesses are positioned for success.
