Foode is awarded “Backing Historic Small Restaurants” grant
Today Foode was announced as one of the 2024 recipients of the American Express and the National Trust for Historic Preservation Backing Historic Small Restaurants grant program. 50 small restaurants in the U.S. will receive a $50,000 grant each to help them upgrade, renovate and grow their businesses. The grant program significantly expanded its reach this year, doubling the number of grantees, including in 13 new states, and increasing the total grant funding to $2.5 million, up from $1 million in prior years.
Backing Historic Small Restaurants is part of American Express’ “Backing Small” initiative, focused on providing financial support and resources to help small businesses address critical needs. Following the success of Backing Historic Small Restaurants, American Express extended the program globally in 2022 with the launch of “Backing International Small Restaurants”, which has reached nine cities in five countries around the world to date.
Congratulations to Foode!
