As Colorado businesses continue to adjust to the new COVID-19 reality, Comcast is a source of support for business owners and community partners. Comcast continues to partner with organizations across the state and throughout the nation, to help arm Colorado small businesses with the tools needed to endure this difficult time.  

SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS THROUGH COMMUNITY PARTNERS 

According to the United States Census, 72.1 percent of Colorado small businesses have requested financial assistance since mid-March. To combat the ripple effect of economic challenges that impact communities, Comcast served as a catalyst for small business support efforts by contributing more than $500,000 to various community partners, including the Colorado COVID Relief Fund. Through these contributions, our partners have provided relief to communities and organizations that have been disproportionately impacted by the global health crisis
