Giving Back to Small Businesses in Los Angeles
In addition to the commercial, QuickBooks and Mailchimp teamed up with the Los Angeles Rams to provide $25,000 grants to three Black-owned businesses in and around Inglewood, Calif., the host city of The Big Game and future home of Intuit Dome. The three small business owners - Glow + Flow Beauty Supply https://glowandflowbeauty.com/, South LA Cafe and Burn Cycling, were selected because of their inspiring stories of starting and growing in their community. They were surprised with the growth grants last week and also received free one-year subscriptions to QuickBooks Online and Mailchimp. These efforts are part of Intuit’s long term commitment to the L.A. area to power prosperity in the local community, which includes its Prosperity Hub School District program that empowers the next generation of students to develop entrepreneurial and financial skills.
