Grants Awarded to 10 Local Businesses In MS

At RCLF, we believe that every small business deserves the opportunity to succeed—regardless of background, zip code, or access to traditional financing. That’s why RCLF works every day to provide small business loans, grants, and financial tools that help entrepreneurs thrive across Mississippi.

Recently, RCLF partnered with Appalachian Community Capital (ACC) to deliver a powerful boost to 10 local entrepreneurs in North Mississippi. Through this partnership and the support of the Truist Foundation, we were proud to award surprise small business grants to ten deserving RCLF clients.

Among the recipients were Amanda Gholson of 88 West and Mikayala Clouse of Oopsy Daisy Floral and Gifts—two outstanding small business owners who are growing their businesses and uplifting their communities.

These small business grants are more than a financial handout—they’re a springboard. Whether it’s upgrading equipment, expanding inventory, hiring new employees, or increasing marketing efforts, these funds offer meaningful support for long-term growth.

As a leader in Mississippi small business loans and support, RCLF goes beyond funding. Our team offers personalized business coaching, technical assistance, and access to resources designed specifically for small business growth in underserved communities.

If you’re a Mississippi small business owner looking for working capital, startup funding, or expansion support, RCLF’s business loan programs may be exactly what you need. We offer flexible terms, local guidance, and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs across the state.
