Help Now: Donate or Participate in our Resilient Communities Initiative for Impacted Businesses
As small businesses face unexpected operational and economic challenges due to immigration enforcement activity and the fear affecting our communities, the IHCC Foundation launched the Resilient Communities Initiative (RCI) to provide immediate relief and long-term stability.
Rooted in a compassionate, holistic approach, RCI delivers direct financial assistance through microgrants, activates neighborhood economies through Shop Local campaigns, and provides critical educational resources to help entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty and build resilience. Because small businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods, this initiative is designed to help them remain strong, visible, and thriving.
There are many meaningful ways to support this work:
Donate to our microgrant fund
Participate in a Shop Local campaign
Support featured neighborhood businesses
Share vital resources with those who need them
Every action makes a difference. Together, we can uplift the businesses and families that sustain our communities.
Three Pillars
Our pool of microgrants grows through the generosity of people who believe in community. Your support directly translates into real help for businesses facing real challenges. When you give, you give someone hope. Donate to the IHCC Foundation to make an immediate difference with your tax-deductible gift.
