The Massachusetts Equitable PPP Access Initiative (MEPPPAI) is a coalition formed to provide timely and equitable access to forgivable federal loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration under the Paycheck Protect Program (PPP) for underbanked businesses and historically disadvantaged and underserved demographic groups, including businesses owned by women and people of color.  The coalition includes community development financial institutions, banks, business support organizations, foundations, and other supporting partners.

If you are a minority-owned business, you can still receive technical assistance on how to apply for and use PPP funds and how to apply for forgiveness by joining a workshop or signing up for help below.
