Prosper Portland Funds Internships
Applications opened this week for Pros-
per Portland’s first Small Business Internship
Grants, available for up to 12 eligible small
businesses to promote diversity in the work-
force.
The grant funds will broaden learning op-
portunities for students of color and help local
businesses gain unique insights as they diver-
sify their talent pipelines.
Prosper Portland is partnering with the
Emerging Leaders Internship program to offer
the grants, which will cover part of the match
fee and up to 80 percent of an intern’s salary for
a 10-week placement. Amounts will vary based
on the company’s size and financial capacity.
“We are so pleased to embark on this joint
venture with Emerging Leaders to expand the
program to small, growing businesses that
might not otherwise be able to finance an in-
tern. We are helping small businesses grow
and meet their strategic needs and at the same
time offer students of color meaningful pro-
fessional development,” said Prosper Portland
Executive Director Kimberly Branam.
Eligible businesses must be in the Portland
region, have fewer than 50 employees, and be
new to the Emerging Leaders Internship ini-
tiative. They must also be traded sector com-
panies, selling some of their products and/or
services to people and businesses outside the
Portland area.
Minority-owned, women-owned and
emerging small businesses, businesses with
people of color in executive and/or board lead-
ership, and those in the city’s targeted traded
sectors (Athletic and Outdoor, Clean Tech,
Advanced Manufacturing, and Technology/
Media) will receive priority. Applications are
due by 11:59 p.m. Monday, Dec. 31. Recipi-
ents will be announced in February.
