Comcast has committed to a multiyear plan to fight injustice and inequality. As part of this commitment, Comcast is allocating substantial resources to help Black-owned small businesses through their Comcast RISE program.

Comcast RISE stands for Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment. The program will start in 2020 with an initial focus on Black-owned businesses. The next submission cycle will open up eligibility to all BIPOC business owners, those next hit hardest by the effects of the pandemic.

f your business qualifies, you’ll have the opportunity to receive one or more of the following business services:

  • Marketing and advertising consultations
  • Media placements over a 90-day period
  • Commercial creative production services
  • Technology services from Effectv and/or Comcast Business

Please use this link to review the selection criteria and apply. The application for our first wave of services is open and will close on November 7. Recipients will be announced at the end of each quarter. Please reach out to Comcast at [email protected] with any questions about the program.
