We are excited to announce a new resource for small businesses and nonprofits in Rhode Island.   Skills for Rhode Island’s Future, with funding from RI Commerce under the RI Rebounds Technical Assistance Program, is providing technical assistance services valued at up to $10,000 to qualified small businesses.
Eligible small businesses can receive technical assistance in the following areas:
•          Accounting & Bookkeeping
•          Legal Advice & Services
•          Marketing, Communications, Branding & Public Relations
•          Customer Data & User Experience Analytics
•          Strategic & Business Planning
•          Human Resources & Payroll Services
•          Information & Computer Technology
•          Website Development Support
•          Fund Development, & Grant Writing
•          Supply Chain & Procurementrisbhub_one_pager_small_business-eng-spa-2.pdf
•          E-Commerce


I have attached the Small Business FAQ document which provides more information about who is eligible for assistance under the RI Rebounds Technical Assistance Program.  I just wanted to highlight some quick facts for small businesses and nonprofits that may be eligible for assistance for the program!
Who is eligible to apply?
Any small business owner who meets the eligibility criteria and can self-attest to the following conditions is eligible for the RI Rebounds Technical Assistance Program: (see page 5)
  • I am the owner or authorized agent of the small business in Rhode Island applying for this program.
  • My business has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Negative impact is defined in the FAQ.
  • My business, or 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established to do business in Rhode Island prior to October 1, 2021.
  • My business has gross receipts or sales of less than $1 million in 2020 or 2021, excluding any COVID-related financial assistance.
  • My business has not been permanently closed. Small businesses that were seasonally closed are eligible.
  • My business is not owned by a nationally or regionally owned franchise.
  • I am not an employee of SkillsRI, and/or my business does have a conflict of interest with SkillsRI or RI Commerce.


I have not yet started my business, but I would like support getting it running. Can I still apply? (see page 7)
Eligible applicants for RI Rebounds must have been an established business in the State of Rhode Island prior to October 1, 2021. However, you may be eligible for other services through the RI Small Business HUB.  Please visit the RI Small Business HUB section of the FAQ for more information.


“I am the executive director of a nonprofit organization; are nonprofit organizations eligible to receive technical assistance? (see page 8)! Yes, nonprofit organizations are eligible, provided they meet all other eligibility criteria.  The organization must be physically located in Rhode Island and have gross receipts or sales of less than $1 million in 2020 or 2021.”
