PCD Small Business Fund Grants

PCD Small Business Grants-Not currently accepting applications

PCD Small Business Grants are made possible through the generous donations given to our Small Business Fund. The community has come together to support Hamilton’s vitality and now we’d like to distribute this funding to our businesses. These grants are intended to focus on mitigating the impacts on businesses of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The monies available through the Small Business Fund are being supplemented by existing PCD grant funds. If awarded, PCD will decide which funding source makes the most sense for you.

We are starting with an initial funding round with applications due May 4th by 4pm. We have limited funding and while we would like to serve everyone, understand this might not be possible. The funding is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We will be making awards up to $5,000 in the fairest way possible. Please understand that just because the limit is set at $5,000, it does not mean you will receive the full amount.

Eligible applicants are businesses, retail and other, based within the Village and Town of Hamilton, with emphasis on those most impacted by COVID-19. Awards will be made for general business expenses, as submitted in detail by the applicant, with consideration made to expenses that are unfillable by other means (for example, grants, negotiated relief from vendors or landlords). Full disclosure of business finances by applicants is not required, however, the committee may request additional supporting information for expense relief being requested. Please direct any questions to jmlutter@hamiltonpcd.org.

If awarded, full documentation of costs will be required.

Eligible area: Businesses within the Village and Town of Hamilton serving the local area

Eligible business types: For profit businesses

Eligible costs: Business expenses that are unfillable by other means (for example, grants, negotiated relief from vendors or landlords)

Grant amount: Up to $5,000

Grant deadline for Round 1: May 4th at 4pm.
