Helping Small Business in Minnesota
Stay Open During Sudden Disruptions
When neighborhoods are disrupted by federal enforcement and executive actions, small businesses are caught in the middle. Customers stop coming. Workers can’t get to work. Deliveries stall. Revenue drops overnight. For a small business, a few days of disruption is the difference between staying open and closing.
The Open for Tomorrow Fund exists to step in fast. Donate today so that we can provide fast, flexible dollars to the small businesses who are hurting the most. Your contribution will help Minnesota’s entrepreneurs keep their businesses open amidst economic calamity and disruptive federal enforcement.
The Rundown
Why Now?
Federal enforcement activity has destabilized Minnesota, leading to lost customers, workforce interruptions, and unexpected operating costs for small businesses. The Open for Tomorrow Fund exists to help businesses absorb the shock and stay open.
We will provide rapid, direct micro-grants to help small businesses cover costs and stabilize during disruptions.
How It Works
Phase 1 (February 2026): Grassroots fundraising to help resource community enterprises and local businesses.
Phase 2 (March 2026): Application opens and submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Phase 3 (March 2026): Micro-grants are disbursed rapidly to assist businesses enduring economic disruption.
Who This Is For
Small businesses in Minnesota that have experienced material economic disruption and need short-term support to stabilize operations.
What Makes Us Different
The Open for Tomorrow Fund is built for speed and flexibility, delivering direct support to individual businesses so help arrives when it’s needed, not weeks later.
The big Picture
Small businesses anchor neighborhoods, create jobs, and keep local economies alive. When disruption hits, the Open for Tomorrow Fund helps ensure Main Street doesn’t have to carry the burden alone.
