Comcast will award technology and marketing resources to 103 BIPOC-owned small businesses, which includes Hispanic and Asian American owned businesses among others, across Florida.

In addition, applications are being accepted now for the next phase of the Comcast RISE program. Visit www.ComcastRISE.com to apply, for more information and the latest updates.
Comcast RISE, which stands for “Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment,” is part of an expanded Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitment that Comcast announced last summer, as well as a coordinated cross-company effort to address digital inequities through sustainable programming and investments such as Internet Essentials and Lift Zones.
Eligible businesses can apply for the following:
- Marketing Services: The following services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, and its creative agency, Mnemonic, are designed to help recipients with their marketing and media campaigns, including:
- Media: A linear TV media campaign to run over a 90-day period.
- Creative Production: Turnkey 30-second TV commercial production, plus a media strategy consultation and a 90-day linear TV media campaign.

Comcast RISE also invests in ongoing mentorship and resources to help businesses succeed in the long-term. The program has partnered with Ureeka, an online platform for entrepreneurs. All Comcast RISE recipients will have a specialized online networking community within Ureeka with access to educational resources, sources of capital, and vetted experts such as U.S. Black Chambers, National Asian Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Association for Enterprise Opportunity, Walker’s Legacy and Operation Hope.
