Doordash Local Business Grants
$5,000 to $15,000 grants for eligible businesses
What are the Doordash Local Business Grants?
The Restaurant Disaster Relief Fund is a recovery-focused grant program created by DoorDash in partnership with Hello Alice to support small businesses impacted by natural disasters. The program provides grants ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 to help eligible businesses recover from revenue losses caused by events such as fires, floods, hurricanes, or major infrastructure failures.
What are the requirements?
Eligible applicants must be U.S.-based, for-profit businesses with a brick-and-mortar location that has experienced a loss in revenue as a direct result of a qualifying natural disaster or severe weather event declared by a state, tribal, or federal government within the past 12 months. Eligible business types include restaurants, flower shops, liquor stores, convenience stores, pet stores, and local grocery stores.
Who is the grant best for?
This grant is best for small, locally owned food and retail businesses that have been directly impacted by a recent natural disaster and need short-term financial relief to stabilize operations, cover expenses, or reopen after disruption.
How are the winners selected?
Grant recipients are selected through an application review process conducted by Hello Alice in partnership with DoorDash. Applications are evaluated based on eligibility, documented impact from the qualifying disaster, and the business's need for relief funding. Selected businesses receive grants within the $5,000–$15,000 range.
