Independent restaurants do more than serve great food—they create jobs, bring people together and help shape communities. That’s why American Express and the International Downtown Association Foundation are supporting them through the 2026 Backing International Small Restaurants grant program. As we celebrate five years of the program, we’re proud to help restaurant owners invest in their businesses and make an impact beyond their doors.
Applications are now open. Learn more about the program and how to apply at the link in bio. by @shopsmall

This back-to-school season, we’re celebrating the spaces in our communities that help kids learn, create, and explore.

Shop Small Grant recipient Jessica Wallace started The 3D Lab to give kids in her community a place where their creativity could take the lead, with access to technology, tools, and hands-on experiences.

Today, Jessica and her son Victor are building on that vision and creating more opportunities for the next generation of makers.

The 3D Lab is one of more than 500 small businesses that received a grant from the Amex Shop Small Grants Program, in partnership with @natlmainstreet. Read more about it at the link in bio. by @shopsmall
