DEDI has partnered with Commerce RI to announce the opening of applications for the Network Matching Grant program!

This grant cycle, conducted in collaboration with RI Commerce and DEDI, aims to fund organizations that offer technical assistance, flexible space, and/or access to capital for state-certified small and underserved businesses in Rhode Island.

Consultant organizations will be selected to directly assist certified firms at no cost in areas such as procurement, business planning, financial planning, and marketing.

The program will launch in early October once consultant organizations are selected. Keep an eye out for more information about the program over the next month.
