SWLA Economic Development Alliance
The SWLA Alliance’s “Pathway to Small Business Recovery” Grant Program (initially made possible by a $150,000 seed grant from the Sempra Energy Foundation) has been picked up for a second round of funding provided by the Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana. During the first funding cycle, fifty local small businesses were awarded $3,000 each.
“We are overjoyed and relieved that the Community Foundation has stepped in to continue this vital assistance for hurricane impacted businesses that need quick funding to return to business”, said George Swift, President/CEO of the Alliance. “With this new avenue of funding, we are now able to extend the scope of this grant to include all five parishes within Southwest Louisiana: Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron & Jeff Davis,” continued Swift.
