Home > SMALL BUSINESS BOOSTER PROGRAM

Through a $50,000 Duke Energy Foundation Grant awarded to the Montcross Area Chamber's Tomorrow Foundation,

the Chamber has created our Small Business Booster Program.

Our program was created to help Gaston County small businesses grow and prosper through microgrants ranging from $1000 to $5000.

These microgrants can be used to pay for products or services that could help your small business with renovations, technology, equipment, inventory, etc., that will expand, upgrade or improve your business's ability to attract customers,

grow revenues, and/or better serve your community.

If you can respond "YES" to these questions, you may be eligible for a grant:

Is your small business or nonprofit in Gaston County?

Has it been open for at least one year?

Does it have 50 or fewer employees?

Would a grant of $1,000 to $5,000 BOOST your business?

NOTE: Microgrants may NOT be used for mortgage payments, rent, payroll, utility bills, debts, taxes,

fines, travel, transportation, lodging, entertainment, meals or drinks, etc.

Applications will be accepted up to 5pm on Friday, October 11th, 2024.

Winners will be notified directly & microgrants awarded by November 1st, 2024
