As part of the Juntos Crecemos platform, The PepsiCo Foundation launched the IMPACTO Hispanic Business Accelerator, a $10 million initiative to provide capital and business coaching to 500 Hispanic small food and beverage businesses over the next five years. This support will help Hispanic entrepreneurs overcome systemic economic disparities and grow their enterprises. The program launched in 13 cities where small business owners were hit particularly hard by the pandemic, with plans to expand to additional cities based on community need.
The PepsiCo Foundation is currently working with five Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) partners, including Allies for Community Business in Chicago, Ascendus in New York, LiftFund in San Antonio, Accion Opportunity Fund in Los Angeles, and DreamSpring in Albuquerque.
The first 150 IMPACTO grant recipients include:
