Small Business Grants for Chamber Members
GrantID: 76232
Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $1,200
Summary
Grant opportunity focused on supporting small, locally-owned businesses. The funding is aimed at helping eligible businesses grow, modernize, and strengthen their presence in the community. The program includes multiple award types with set dollar amounts. One category offers approximately $1,200 for improvements or upgrades that can help a business become more efficient or visible. There are also smaller awards of around $1,000 or $500 that can be used to help cover operational or equipment costs, depending on the specific award type.
The intent of the funding is to encourage investment in tangible business enhancements rather than to simply cover routine overhead. For example, the money may be used for things like updating or purchasing equipment, making capital improvements to a commercial property, investing in professional services such as marketing or business planning, or undertaking activities that improve member communications or service offerings. At least in some categories, the program allows the funds to be applied toward basic operational costs, while in others the focus is on improvements that generate long-term value. Businesses that apply are usually asked to describe how they plan to use the funds and how that use will benefit their business or the local business community.
Eligibility is generally limited to small businesses with a workforce below a specified size threshold, and applicants must be members of a qualifying local chamber of commerce that participates in the coalition. Nonprofit organizations do not qualify for these particular awards, and sole proprietors seeking personal support outside of a business context are not the intended audience. This opportunity is available only to businesses located within the relevant regional area, and applications are typically submitted through a straightforward letter or narrative describing the proposed use of funds.
