About
Grant Amount: $6,000
Applicants can apply for up to $3,000 or $6,000 to be used for equipment, marketing, signage, staffing, trailers, leasehold improvements, or anything that will take your business to the next level—please only apply for exactly how much you need. For example, if your project will cost $5,200, you will apply for $5,200. You can enter yourself into either the $3,000 or $6,000 grant; if you enter the $3,000 grant pool, then you will only be reimbursed $3,000, even though your project costs $5,200.
There are four different grants available; you can only apply for one grant per business. More than one application per business automatically disqualifies all applications for that business.
