WHAT IS
COMCAST RISE?
Comcast RISE was created in 2020 to help small businesses hardest hit by COVID-19 recover and thrive. To date, 14,000 small businesses were awarded with over $125 million in monetary, marketing, and technology grants. Using learnings from our first phase, we proudly brought Comcast RISE back in expanded form in 2023 to focus on expansion and growth as small businesses transition from pandemic recovery. Comcast continues its efforts and helps an even broader range of small businesses, while continuing to focus on diversity, inclusion, and community investment.

Comcast RISE is part of Project UP, Comcast’s comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities.
