C2FO Business Empowerment Grant Program

This program provides grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that promote education, training and make resources available for business owners and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to build prosperous communities and support small businesses around the world.

C2FO, the world’s on-demand working capital platform, is committed to ensuring every business has the capital needed to thrive. Our platform helps all businesses, including small and minority-owned businesses (SMBs), to unlock access to funding. In 2023, we accelerated $5.4 billion in funding to minority- and women-owned businesses around the globe and announced the creation of the C2FO Business Empowerment Grant Program.

This program provides grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that promote education, training and make resources available for business owners and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to build prosperous communities and support small businesses around the world. To date, C2FO has donated over $220,000 to nonprofit organizations in the communities where our team members live and work. These donations aim to support underserved business owners and entrepreneurs.

We are not currently accepting grant applications. Please check back for updates and new opportunities as we grow this program.

Grant Information

We choose to invest in our communities by supporting 501(c)(3) organizations that educate and provide resources to entrepreneurs and local businesses because we know that when all businesses have access to the capital they need – when a financial system is truly inclusive – we all win.
