Grant will support U.S. Hispanic-owned small
and medium sized businesses impacted by COVID-19
Comcast Business today announced it has partnered with
NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises, the leading media company
serving Hispanics, to provide a $50,000 grant to the United States
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC) -- America’s largest Hispanic
business organization, representing over 4.37 million
Hispanic-owned small and medium sized businesses. The grant will
support Hispanic-owned businesses impacted by COVID-19.
- “Comcast Business is committed to helping the Hispanic-owned
business community stay connected and agile during this
unprecedented time. Growing twice as fast as other businesses in
the country and contributing thousands of new jobs to their local
communities, Hispanic-owned businesses are helping fuel our
economy,” said Bill Stemper, President, Comcast Business. “We’re
proud to partner with our friends at NBCUniversal Telemundo
Enterprises to extend our support to the Hispanic business
community and our partners at the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
during this time of need.”
- “We are honored to be working hand-in-hand with Comcast and
Telemundo, such important voices for our community, to make sure
that our minority-owned small businesses have access to the
bilingual resources they need to respond to the economic effects of
the COVID-19 crisis,” said Ramiro A. Cavazos, USHCC President &
CEO. “We will work diligently with Comcast and Telemundo to fight
for these businesses and help advance the prosperity of U.S.
Hispanics during these times.”
- “Hispanic-owned businesses are the heart of our community, so
assisting and guiding these business owners during these difficult
times is an enormously important initiative for us,” said Christina
Kolbjornsen, Senior Vice President of Corporate and External
Affairs. “One in every four small businesses in the U.S. is
Hispanic-owned and 75 percent of new businesses in the U.S. are
created by Hispanics. These small businesses face the same
challenges as large companies, yet they have a fraction of the
resources. We are excited to partner with Comcast and the U.S.
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to offer these small businesses the
support they deserve.”
In addition to the grant, NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises in
partnership with USHCC, is providing resources and guidelines to
businesses in the language of their choice, as well as tips on how
to navigate the Small Business Debt Relief Program – the CARES Act,
the program that provides immediate relief to small businesses with
non-disaster SBA loans. This information, as well as other
resources to guide business owners can be found on
