Small business owners in Bellevue have an opportunity to apply for a competitive grant program aimed at boosting economic growth and digital equity. Comcast RISE, a national initiative launched by Comcast, is offering grants to 100 small businesses across King County—including those in Bellevue—as part of its 2025 program.
Each selected business will receive a support package that includes business consulting, educational resources, creative production, a media plan, a technology upgrade, and a $5,000 cash grant. Applications are open from May 1 to May 31, with winners announced in August.
Since launching, the program has provided funding and resources to 14,000 small businesses in over 1,400 cities.
This year, Comcast RISE will give out 500 total grant packages across five cities: Seattle, WA (including Bellevue and the rest of King County); Boston, MA; Grand Rapids, MI; Nashville, TN; and South Valley, UT.
Business owners in Bellevue can apply at www.ComcastRISE.com starting May 1.
To help local businesses learn more, the Bellevue Chamber is hosting a private, members-only event at Fogo de Chão on May 6. Attendees can hear about the Comcast RISE program, explore opportunities with Fogo, and ask questions.
