Grant offered to help businesses struggling with COVID impacts

Has your business experienced financial loss and hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, the Ready for Business Fund administered by GSBA is here to help your business bounce back. Applications opened March 15 and will close April 9. A $2,500 cash grant will be awarded to selected small businesses.

Additionally, awardees will receive wrap-around support services including GSBA membership, technical support, marketing, and consulting. This grant does not have to be repaid, and it can be used for any purpose to help the business recover from the economic crisis. The grant is open to any small business in Washington State established prior to March 2, 2020. Priority will be given to small businesses within the communities most impacted by COVID-19, including LGBTQ-, BIPOC-, and women-owned businesses, as well as businesses located in rural areas.
