Unlocking inclusivity: How ERAF can transform your business


Now, through the Department of Employment and Economic Development’s (DEED’s) Employer Reasonable Accommodation Fund (ERAF) small to mid-sized Minnesota businesses can request reimbursements for up to $30,000 in expenses related to providing reasonable accommodations for job applicants and employees with disabilities.

It’s simple, it’s easy, and it connects great workers with great businesses.

Join us for an engaging and inspiring webinar exploring the power of workplace inclusivity.

During this session, you'll also gain valuable insights into leveraging SBA loans to finance these accommodations upfront. We'll explore the details of the 7(a) Small Loan and microloan programs, providing you with practical solutions to embrace inclusivity while enhancing your business operations.

This opportunity not only simplifies the process of making your workplace accessible but also connects fantastic businesses with outstanding talent. Don't miss out on learning how your business can thrive through inclusivity and strategic support.
