Also: Uber and Visa launch small business grant program, Meta offers optimistic March return-to-office date, and more.
Hello, communicators:
Uber and Visa have partnered to launch the Grants for Growth program, which will provide $1 million in grants to small businesses in the 10 U.S. cities where Uber Eats currently operates. The companies said that the program was created to provide support for restaurant recovery at a time when many merchants are in need.
Uber and Visa said that 100 merchants will each receive grants of $10,000 to make payroll, pay down debt, update their payment technology infrastructure and more.
In addition to financial support, selected merchants will receive placement in the Uber Eats app and disaster recovery guides published by Uber and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, which will administer the grant program and independently select grant recipients with preference to veteran, minority, women and LGBTQIA+ business owners.
