The Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE) and the Vermont Slauson Development Corp. are among seven organizations statewide that have received grants to offer technical assistance to small businesses whose owners are low-income, minority, disabled or women.
The $350,000 grant from Wells Fargo Bank will be divided among the organizations as part of an initiative to help entrepreneurs raise their chances of success.
PACE, which also operates the Asian Pacific Revolving Loan Fund, will use the grant to finance a bilingual technical-assistance consultant who will work with loan applicants. Other winning organizations are in San Francisco, Richmond, Ukiah and Watsonville.
