Small Business
Opportunity Fund
We think big,
but we support small.
The Small Business Opportunity Fund
helps small businesses grow.

Some examples of what the $1,500 grant supports:
- Internships
- Temporary employees
- Health and wellness programs
- Continuing education, such as seminars, webinars, training
- Business retreats
- Marketing and advertising
- New technology such as software
- Licensing and permits
