MVY Radio has awarded two Business Diversity Initiative grants to businesses on the Cape and Islands.

The winners for this quarter are MVacay, a woman-owned, Oak Bluffs-based business offering local travel guides and weekly events updates; and Belonging Books, an Asian American/Pacific Islander, BIPOC, immigrant, women-owned business that provides community programs and a pop-up bookstore that centers the voices of people of color and other underrepresented communities on Cape Cod.

Each business will receive 60 underwriting messages on the radio station to inform the public about their business. The flight of 15-second messages is valued at $1,200 for each grantee. So far, the radio station has donated $30,000 worth of airtime to the initiative.

Applications for the next round are available now through Dec. 31. For more information, visit mvyradio.org/diversity.
