Outdoor Dining Grant - Boston, Massachusetts
The Greg Hill Foundation’s Restaurant Strong Fund and Grubhub are on a mission to transform outdoor dining for small business restaurants throughout the country. Outdoor dining provides an incredible opportunity for increased revenues but with high costs for furniture, décor and upkeep, restaurants can struggle to create a welcoming atmosphere and experience.

Our intent is to provide a much-needed boost to these restaurant recipients to set them up for success by enhancing their outdoor dining offerings.
