International Downtown Association Foundation recognizes that small restaurants are vital to thriving communities, and also particularly susceptible to the challenges of the global economy. The “Backing International Small Restaurants” grant program, supported by American Express, is aimed at boosting business for culturally significant and independent restaurants that demonstrate </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">a positive impact on their community, and are </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">owned by individuals from underrepresented and/or economically vulnerable groups</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The goal is to help these restaurants with critical improvements and long-term sustainability so they can focus on nourishing their customers with good food and furthering community connection. Among other things, funding can be used for enhancing digital capabilities, building or refreshing dining spaces, making improvements to kitchen operations, and revitalizing local outreach programs. To date the efforts of more than 140 businesses have been recognized with more than $1.8M in funding from this program. </span></p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-15351 aligncenter" src="https://downtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1405734619-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="1079" height="719" srcset="https://downtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1405734619-300x200.jpg 300w, https://downtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1405734619-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://downtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1405734619-768x512.jpg 768w, https://downtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1405734619-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://downtown.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1405734619-2048x1366.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1079px) 100vw, 1079px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><b><span data-contrast="auto">2024 Grant Awardees Announced</span></b><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":279}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">In 2024, Backing International Small Restaurants awarded $1 million USD to 70 independent restaurants with community significance in nine major cities across the UK, Mexico, Australia, Japan and Canada.
