We created The Longevity Fund to help fill the gap for Chinatown’s small businesses, who were often left behind from many of the public and private loan and grant programs available for COVID-19 relief. Through your generous donations, we were able to fund our first round of grantees. Today, we’re excited to announce our first 10 businesses receiving our Longevity Fund grant!

Welcome to Chinatown is launching The Longevity Fund, a small business relief fund that aims to fundraise $200,000 for the distribution of grants to Manhattan Chinatown’s small businesses.

We are excited to partner with neighborhood friends Golden Diner to (re)introduce the community to just a few of the many amazing small businesses in our beloved neighborhood. Chinatown has been hard hit with devastating obstacles even before the COVID shutdown, but seeing the lights of small businesses slowly come back on over the past 2 weeks has given us hope and cause for celebration. This community is unassumingly but astonishingly brave, resourceful, and resilient. And where the hell else you gonna go to get $2 dumplings?
