“We’re excited that these six businesses are receiving a critical boost to meet their business goals,” said Jennifer Rodriguez, President & CEO of the GPHCC. “Small businesses are vital to the economic growth and development of the Hispanic community in Greater Philadelphia through the creation of jobs and local engagement. We’re happy to partner with USHCC, the Urban League’s Entrepreneurship Center, and ODP Corporation for this great opportunity.”

Elevate Together™, introduced earlier this year, was designed to help accelerate the creation, growth, and prosperity of Black and Hispanic small businesses through education, access, and aid, in collaboration with the National Urban League’s Entrepreneurship Centers and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
