Abbott and LISC are collaborating through a $37.5 million initiative to support diverse small businesses and the communities they serve. This includes growth capital (businesses only repay LISC if and when they meet certain growth targets), loans and coaching to help business leaders grow their companies and create jobs. The Abbott-LISC initiative is open to companies nationwide with a focus on diverse-owned small businesses. Diverse-owned include those that are majority owned by people of color (including Black, Latino, Asian and Native American business owners), women, veterans, people with disabilities, people who identify as LGBTQ, and other historically underrepresented groups. A small business must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the initiative:

• Based in the United States, with an annual revenue of $250,000 or more;
• In operation for more than two years, with an ability to deploy capital toward business improvement and growth; and
• Part of the healthcare industry, with a focus on manufacturing diagnostics, nutrition products, medical devices and other healthcare technologies, or offering business-to-business products and services that the healthcare industry can use such as IT, human resources, and construction, among others. Sole proprietors are not eligible for the program.
