Independent restaurants are essential to the vitality of our neighborhoods, and many are struggling to survive in the wake of the federal immigration enforcement surge.
The Salt Cure Restaurant Recovery Fund, administered by the Minneapolis Foundation, is offering emergency grants to help keep these businesses open and thriving.
Applications are open now through Feb. 23 for the first grant round. For the initial round, small, independently owned restaurants in the metro area will be prioritized. The grants will help cover hardships for ongoing restaurant operations and range from $2,500 to $10,000 in the first round. Strong applications will clearly detail what this loss has represented for their restaurant. Restaurants with multiple locations can apply for each location.
