The California Restaurant Foundation (CRF) and the Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation Foundation (PG&E Foundation) this week said they will award business grants to 77 restaurants across Central and Northern California.
The grants will be given in $5,000 increments to restaurants in 24 counties. The restaurants can use them for equipment upgrades, workforce training and other investments designed to ensure long-term success.
The grants are part of a $900,000 donation the PG&E Foundation made to CRF earlier this year. This is the second round of grants following an earlier round announced in June.
Grants were made available to restaurant owners with fewer than five locations and $3 million in revenue.
The contribution brings to $2.3 million the total amount of grants the PG&E Foundation has made, which has helped 521 restaurants. The grants are made through CRF’s Restaurants Care Resilience Fund.
