Behind every small business is a story of passion, perseverance, and a desire to make a difference. ❤️ From creating jobs to strengthening neighborhoods, entrepreneurs continue to shape communities in meaningful ways.

At the Intuit QuickBooks and Mailchimp Small Business Hero Day in Los Angeles, actress, author, and producer Nia Long joined the celebration of business owners whose work goes far beyond their storefronts. Inspired by her own grandmother’s entrepreneurial journey, Long shared why supporting local businesses remains deeply personal.

The event honored three remarkable organizations—AllBetter Co, ChiTown Tutoring, and Walking with Anthony—with $20,000 grants, business tools, and ongoing support to help them continue serving their communities and growing their impact.

Intuit also highlighted year-round programs that provide funding, expert coaching, and resources to help entrepreneurs build stronger businesses and create more opportunities nationwide.
