The Asian American Business
Development Center (AABDC) announced

to help struggling minority small
businesses get back on their feet.
Project Rebuild would connect minority
small businesses with big corporations
seeking to provide grants,
as well as with Employee Resource
Groups, who want to volunteer their
professional expertise as non-fi nancial
support.
Additionally, AABDC is devoting
its sixth annual Asian American
Business Roundtable to small business
recovery by gathering a C-Suite
level virtual panels to bring together
stakeholders and propose solutions
to fi nancial issues brought on by the
pandemic on Feb. 5 and Feb. 8.
Project Rebuild was launched to
aid the many small businesses throttled
by the continuing pandemic.
AABDC has already signed up nearly
50 Asian American small businesses
across the country who are looking to
be connected with resources.
“This past year has demonstrated
the importance of businesses and
their leaders to step up to provide solutions,”
