Comcast RISE is back and the Seattle Metro Chamber is here to help you apply
SEATTLE – Comcast announced 100 King County businesses will receive grants through Comcast RISE, providing small businesses with comprehensive packages that include a technology makeover, creative production, a media schedule, educational resources, a $5,000 monetary grant and business consultation services.
“When it comes to small businesses, we all know the challenges: we’ve seen the news, the closure notices, the boarded-up storefronts,” said Rachel Smith, president and CEO of the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce. “But there is good news on the horizon with another round of Comcast RISE grants and services to support Puget Sound region small businesses. Too many of our small businesses are on the bubble, and Comcast is serious about being part of the solution by offering financial support and technology services that help local businesses get a leg up. These businesses are the social fabric of our neighborhoods, and that’s why the Chamber is thrilled to be partnering with Comcast to help our members connect to this opportunity.”
From May 1-31, eligible small businesses in King County can apply for the Comcast RISE program at ComcastRISE.com. Winners will be notified in August. Throughout May, local small businesses can learn more about the Comcast RISE program, eligibility requirements, and how to apply by attending free information sessions being held by the Seattle Metro Chamber:
