The Glazer Family Small Business Fund has reached a major milestone, supporting 350 small businesses across Tampa Bay and West Central Florida since launching in 2024. The latest round includes 52 additional grant recipients.
See the full list of recipients here.
Created following Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Fund provides financial assistance to small businesses navigating setbacks and challenges. The Glazer Family expanded its commitment earlier this year, bringing the Fund’s total investment to $1.6 million and helping local businesses continue serving customers, creating jobs and strengthening communities.
“Small businesses are so important to our community,” said Buccaneers Owner and Glazer Family Foundation Chairman Darcie Glazer Kassewitz. “They are the restaurants, shops, services and gathering places that make Tampa Bay truly unique. Their owners and employees create jobs, support local families and help each community across our region thrive. Our family is committed to supporting their efforts and appreciate all they do, every day.
The Tampa Bay Chamber is proud to partner with the Glazer Family and seven other area chambers to distribute grants throughout the region.
Applications are open on a rolling basis to Tampa Bay businesses operating for at least one year that are seeking funding to address setbacks or challenges. Businesses can apply for the 2026 Glazer Family Small Business Fund HERE.
