It is one of several projects overseen by Project UP, Comcast’s initiative “to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities.”
Over the course of the past two years, Comcast RISE has provided more than $110 million in grants to 13,000 entrepreneurs, specifically those who are women and people of color, from 1,321 cities and 38 U.S. states. On November 22nd, over 2,800 more small businesses were selected for the final round of grants, including The Laundry Basket.
In addition to monetary grants, each of the small businesses accepted into the Comcast RISE program will receive either consulting, media, or creative production services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or a “tech makeover” from Comcast Business.
