Building Opportunity Together: ASPIRE Named CMCF Fall Grant Recipient

ASPIRE Community Capital Receives Grant from Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation

ASPIRE Community Capital is honored to share that we have been selected as a grant recipient in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation’s (CMCF) Fall Grant Cycle. ASPIRE Community Capital received $15,000 through this grant cycle, which will help us continue empowering underestimated entrepreneurs across Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

Strengthening Access to Equitable Capital and Business Resources

We are deeply grateful for this support, which strengthens our mission of empowering underestimated entrepreneurs by providing access to equitable financial products and business resources that radically transform communities. This grant helps reinforce the work we do every day to expand opportunity for small business owners and the neighborhoods they support.

A huge thank you to the Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation for recognizing the work we do and for their continued commitment to building opportunities for families and communities across Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

A Grant Cycle Focused on Opportunity and Operating Support

This fall, CMCF introduced important changes to their grantmaking, including expanding eligibility for operating support and aligning investments with the Leading on Opportunity’s Opportunity Compass. We are honored to be part of this cohort and excited for the impact this partnership will make.

Thank You, CMCF

We look forward to sharing more about the impact of this grant as the work continues. For now, we want to pause and simply say thank you. Partnerships like this help ensure small business owners across Charlotte-Mecklenburg can access the resources, capital, and support they need to build, sustain, and grow.

Thank you, Charlotte Mecklenburg Community Foundation, for investing in community-powered progress.
