We are humbled to announce two grant programs for members of the community. We received two awards from the state ARPA allocations which will be used to launch a program of small grants to help people of color-owned businesses expand and stabilize, and a program of school stipends for students of color in the region. We will initially distribute up to 10 student stipends of up to $500 each.

Senator Julian Cyr was also able to secure additional ARPA funding for the racial equity programs through a Senate allocation. "Amplify POC has served Cape Cod's communities of color considerably since its foundation in 2021 by driving funding, support, and awareness to scores of marvelous, local, People of Color-owned businesses and by providing vitalizing resources to Cape Codders," said Senator Julian Cyr (D- Truro). "The organization's continuation of this purposeful work through grant programs that will assist People of Color-owned businesses and students does not only ensure that the Cape's communities of color benefit from COVID recovery dollars but will also help us build a more equitable Cape Cod going forward."
