The Laundry Basket Accepted into Comcast RISE Program

The Laundry Basket, an on-demand laundry subscription service serving the DMV area of Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, today announced that it has been accepted into the Comcast RISE program.

Comcast RISE, which stands for "Representation, Investment, Strength, and Empowerment," was created in 2020 to help small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is one of several projects overseen by Project UP, Comcast's initiative "to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities."

Over the course of the past two years, Comcast RISE has provided more than $110 million in grants to 13,000 entrepreneurs, specifically those who are women and people of color, from 1,321 cities and 38 U.S. states. On November 22nd, over 2,800 more small businesses were selected for the final round of grants, including The Laundry Basket.

In addition to monetary grants, each of the small businesses accepted into the Comcast RISE program will receive either consulting, media, or creative production services from Effectv, the advertising sales division of Comcast Cable, or a "tech makeover" from Comcast Business.

The Laundry Basket offers laundry services for hospitality, medical and dental offices, beauty and hair salons, gyms, restaurants, bars, and janitorial businesses. The Laundry Basket is a Black, women, and veteran-owned business filling a market need for responsive and on-demand laundry service.

"I'm honored and grateful to have been accepted into the Comcast RISE program," said The Laundry Basket founder Hyacinth Tucker. "With the exposure and support Comcast is generously providing, I look forward to taking The Laundry Basket to the next level."
