For-Profit Grant/Non-Profit
The Famous Amos Ingredients for Success Grant is a national initiative created to support early‑stage Black business owners with the resources they need to grow and thrive. This annual program awards three entrepreneurs $50,000 each, totaling $150,000 in capital funding, along with access to mentorship, educational resources, and networking opportunities.
Launched to honor the legacy of Wally Amos, the program celebrates the creativity, resilience, and originality of Black founders. Applicants are invited to submit a short video pitch, and entries are reviewed by a panel of renowned Black entrepreneurs. Ten finalists are selected before three winners are ultimately chosen.
This grant is designed specifically for early‑stage Black‑owned businesses looking for meaningful financial support and guidance to take their next step. It’s a powerful opportunity for founders who want to scale, gain visibility, and connect with a supportive entrepreneurial community. Chamber Members who meet the criteria are strongly encouraged to apply. Click here to learn more.
