What is the KKR Small Business Builders Grant Program?

The program invests in woman-identifying entrepreneurs, with an emphasis on New Majority owners who’ve pivoted their business in response to the pandemic and provide important community services. 

These recipients share a commitment to serving their communities and furthering their missions, along with the tenacity it takes to navigate the path of entrepreneurship during challenging times.

All recipients receive a $10,000 grant to help their small businesses recover and grow.
