Small business owners and nonprofits are invited to a free town hall in Wharton, N.J. on Monday, Feb. 28, to learn about the Morris County Small Business Grant Program and find assistance in applying for grant money being given to cover specific pandemic recovery costs.
Come to this event to get:
- a demonstration of the online grant application portal
- assistance will be provided to those who want to submit applications during the event
If you plan to file at Monday’s event, you should still go to the website to learn what you should bring with you .
The Small Business Grant Program eligibility requirements include, but are not limited to:
- Available to businesses with 25 or fewer full time employees (or equivalent)
- In operation since Jan. 1, 2019
- Located within Morris County
- Less than $5 million in sales/revenue
- Proof of a decline in sales/increased expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Federal guidelines covering the grant program will determine exactly which expenses are covered by the grant program and which applications may be approved. The grants are capped at $15,000 per applicant. However, business owners and nonprofits are encouraged to submit applications that include all costs that may qualify for the grant, even if the total amount claimed exceeds $15,000, because a review of the applications may find some costs submitted for consideration do not meet the program guidelines.
