THE RESILIENCY FUND

The Resiliency Fund is a crucial initiative in partnership with the City of Dayton for businesses seeking to overcome economic or growth challenges and emerge more robust.

The Resiliency Fund

What is the Resiliency Fund?

The Resiliency Fund is an opportunity for businesses to receive the support they need to pivot, adapt, and continue contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Dayton's economy. Eligible businesses seize this chance to secure their future and continue their journey of growth and resilience.

The fund is structured around two tiers, each designed to address the unique needs of minority-owned businesses. These tiers aim to bridge the financial gaps exacerbated by the pandemic, ensuring these vital enterprises can continue operating and thriving in the coming year. The fund is not just about financial assistance but empowering businesses to adapt and pivot in this inflation economy, fostering resilience and growth.

How These Businesses Impact the Community

These businesses and their leaders exemplify the resilience and creativity that define entrepreneurship in the Dayton Area. We encourage the community to support these businesses, fostering a vibrant and inclusive economic landscape for all.

RESILIENCY FUND: THE IMPACT

The Miami Valley Urban League is proud to celebrate and highlight the resilience and innovation of local businesses that have received the Resiliency Fund. This initiative has been instrumental in empowering entrepreneurs, fostering growth, and ensuring the sustainability of businesses in the Dayton community.
