Multi-Cultural Innovation Center helps Women & Minority-Owned Small Businesses

The impact of Small Business Saturday last weekend is yet to be determined. For Rhode Island women and minority owned small businesses, the financial impact of COVID-19 goes beyond a one-day fix, and the Multicultural Innovation Center (MIC) is a resource that minority and women owned businesses are able to turn to for assistance. 

The Multicultural Innovation Center (MIC), located in Providence, is a consulting firm providing administrative support for business, consultation on business to customer relations, and technical assistance through workshops and online training. MIC advises on a variety.

One example of their success was a recent project with JaPattyRI Bakery, in Pawtucket. Despite the loss of major catering events, the company had managed to sustain itself. Established in 2018, JaPattyRI is known for their freshly baked Jamaican patties and Caribbean food. With the assistance of MIC and CommerceRI, they were awarded a RestoreRI grant. Because of this grant, the company increased its online marketing and sales process to include an expansion to wholesale. 

Going forward, JaPattyRI currently has a request in for the Adaptation Grant of $50,000 grant that the MIC team also helped them to prepare. The Adaptation Grant is part of a series of funding secured from Commerce RI. They have been receiving funds from Commerce RI over the last couple of months. “Without the help of MIC and Commerce RI, we would have been in an even tougher place,” says co-operator Conroy Outar.
