Minority-owned salons given access to funding during COVID-19

Originally written by DiversityQ on Small Business
As part of their global Community Commerce business model, SheaMoisture UK has launched a £40,000 fund to support UK minority-owned salons to survive COVID-19, as reports show that minority ethnic communities have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19.
The move comes after the success of the 1 Million Dollar Community Commerce Fund that was launched in April to support minority businesses in the USA.
How the fund works
The SheaMoisture UK Community Commerce Salon Relief Fund will gift three grants of £10,000 to three separate minority-owned salons, and five grants of £2,000 to five different salon owners. The grants will be allocated based on how their business supports the local community, how the funds will benefit their staff and business, and if they can demonstrate that they have positively adapted to COVID-19. This includes moving elements of their business online, donating to local hygiene banks or more.
From 18th May – 31st May 2020, minority-owned salons are being encouraged to enter the fund via social media at SheaMoisture UK’s Instagram page @SheaMoistureUK, and via this survey.
Winners of the fund will be selected by an expert judging panel comprising, editorial and celebrity Hairstylist Stefan Bertin, entrepreneur and founder of Treasure Tress, Jamelia Donaldson and natural hair
