We are excited to share that we’ve officially launched Web Grant Kern County 2026, the final city in this year’s program through Bridge Forward Technology.

After strong momentum in San Francisco and Fresno, we’re proud to bring this opportunity to Kern County in partnership with 3C Capital Funding’s Kern Inclusive Entrepreneurship Hub and our presenting sponsor .

This program is all about helping small businesses build a stronger online presence. Awardees will receive professional websites, branding support, and one year of maintenance. Real tools that can make a lasting difference.

What makes this even more impactful is that participants will be selected through KIEH’s Entrepreneurial Incubator Program, connecting them to additional resources and support for long-term growth. I’m proud of the work we’re doing to create more access and opportunity through technology. This is what it’s all about.
