Two programs
Up to $5,000 for a business under 3 years old, headquartered in New York or Chicago. Ten awarded per cycle.
Up to $3,000 toward closing costs on your first home purchase, paired with a Rolamb mortgage.
You'll need a Rolamb checking account in good standing for at least 90 days before applying. Business Grant applicants must show two consecutive quarters of revenue; Homebuyer Grant applicants must not have owned a home in the last three years.
Grant applications are reviewed by our community affairs team, not underwriting — a decision on eligibility usually takes about two weeks. Log in to your portal and open a support ticket titled "Grant Application" with a short description of your business or home purchase, and a teller will send you the full application.
