Groundswell Capital Awards Over 60 Small Business Grants with The Tucson Changemakers Program

Upon review of each and every story that came in, one thing became clear: the small business community in Tucson is unmatched in impact, innovation, and dedication.



Tucson, AZ — After committing a million dollars to small business financial support in Tucson, providing bilingual technical assistance over the past two months, and hosting a number of online and in-person office hours, Groundswell Capital received over 500 Tucson small business submissions for the Tucson Changemakers Grant Awards.


The Changemakers Grant Program provides direct support to Tucson-based small businesses to support the economic growth of our entrepreneurial and small business community.


In an effort to invest in an equitable, innovative and sustainable economy, the Changemakers grants were awarded to local businesses to drive business growth, develop and upskill workforce, contribute to the development of high-quality jobs and employee retention, support clean energy transitions, increase community awareness and support for local small businesses, and expand awareness among small businesses of the variety of free community resources available for businesses in Tucson.
