Join us to learn about Beyond Open Round 2: Corridors of Opportunity, a grant program to help Asian-owned and other diverse and minority-owned small businesses within the City of Charlotte’s Corridors of Opportunity obtain capital assets such as equipment, technology, vehicles, and inventory.

You will meet Asian business owners who have been awarded a grant from Beyond Open Round 1, and learn about Beyond Open Round 2’s grant funding eligibility, how funds may be used, and the information you need to apply.

Beyond Open grants are designed to build economic mobility by providing access to capital for diverse (minority, woman, veteran, LGBTQ+, persons with a disability) small business owners without adding debt.

The Carolinas Asian-American Chamber of Commerce and the Vietnamese Association of Charlotte (Cộng đồng) are pleased to be part of the Beyond Open grant program as Community Advisors.

FPEC is pleased to help build economic mobility in our community through this program with support from the Wells Fargo Open for Business Fund.
