Longevity Fund Applications Now Re-Open

We’re thrilled to launch Round 3 of Welcome to Chinatown’s Longevity Fund!

The Longevity Fund is a small business grant program for Chinatown small businesses. Through past rounds, we’ve distributed $591,000+ through 82 grants to Chinatown small businesses. In 2020, we launched the Longevity Fund, Manhattan Chinatown’s only small business relief program, to support the most at-risk small businesses that have typically been unable to apply for assistance programs.

Businesses can request funds for improvements including marketing, operations, physical space, etc. If you are a small business in Manhattan Chinatown, or if you know of a small business interested, visit the link in bio to apply now. Applications close on February 20, 2023. To apply, click the button below. Paper applications translated into Simplified and Traditional Chinese can be requested by emailing development@welcometochinatown.com.

Receipients will be notified in March 2023. We hope that we ensure Chinatown, both its community and legacy, will be here for future generations from all walks of life to enjoy.

If you want to support our neighborhood, visit welcometochinatown.com/donate.


Welcome to Chinatown

Welcome to Chinatown is a grassroots initiative to support Chinatown businesses following the rapid decline in business as a result of COVID-19 and increased xenophobia. Welcome to Chinatown serves as a free voice to generate much needed momentum for one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods, and offers resources to launch a new revenue stream during this unprecedented time.
