Small businesses in Wisconsin often operate on razor-thin profit margins and hold very little cash in reserve, which makes weathering the effects of a global pandemic particularly challenging. Complicating matters for these small businesses seeking federal or other financial assistance is that they often lack the financial relationships required or are otherwise ineligible, to qualify for these programs. WEDC’s We’re All In Small Business Grant is designed to help these small businesses get back on their feet while also encouraging the adoption of best practices to keep employees, customers, and communities safe.
The program will provide $2,500 grants to 30,000 small businesses and is designed to help them get back on their feet amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This also encourages small businesses to adopt best practices to keep employees, customers, and communities safe. Eligibility criteria for the grant program can be found on WEDC's website.
