Small Business Grants

Throughout 2022, the Chicago Association of REALTORS® will be recognizing and rewarding a select number of small business owners who have made a significant, lasting impact within their communities. If you are a business owner with a brick and mortar location impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage you to apply! Each company selected will receive a $1,000 grant.

Additional grants will be awarded throughout the year – if you do not qualify for the criteria for this round, stay tuned for future grant details!

*As real estate was deemed essential through our advocacy efforts, real estate brokerage offices are ineligible; however, small and owner-occupied property owners may apply (six units or less). Former grant winners are also ineligible to receive this year’s grant.

OUR SECOND ROUND OF GRANTS WILL BENEFIT ASIAN AMERICAN & PACIFIC ISLANDER SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WITHIN THE CHICAGOLAND AREA.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: Monday, June 6, 2023

If you are an Asian American & Pacific Islander small business owner with a brick and mortar location in Chicago and have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we encourage you to apply! The winners will be awarded their grant and interviewed by the Chicago Association of REALTORS® leadership team during our Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage month commemoration event.
