Equitable Development Action (EDACT) is proud to announce the receipt of two significant appropriations that will enhance our ability to support underserved businesses and minority providers. These funds will help us continue our mission of fostering equity and economic inclusion through capacity development and advocacy..
Purpose: This one-time grant from the workforce development fund is dedicated to funding programs and providing technical assistance to underserved businesses. This appropriation will allow EDACT to offer comprehensive support to these businesses, helping them overcome challenges and thrive in their respective industries.
Purpose: Although appropriated to Black Business Enterprises, this funding will support EDACT under the Chapter 245D Compliance Support initiative. The funds will be used to assist minority providers licensed under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 245D, as intensive support services providers. The goal is to build skills and infrastructure needed to enhance the quality of services provided to their clients, particularly those with high behavioral needs. This is also a one-time appropriation.
