Bordentown City Small Business Grant Program

Application Deadline: May 1, 2020 12:00 PM
City Commissioners will review Applications and Announce Grant Awards at the Commission Meeting of May 11, 2020

In response to the COVID-19 public health crisis, the Board of Commissioners, on April 13th, 2020, approved the Bordentown City Small Business Grant Program (“Grant Program”). The Grant Program is in recognition of the significant contributions the City’s small businesses make to the local economy and overall quality of life in the City. Through this program, the City intends to extend grant funding to small businesses in the City for the purpose of stabilizing and sustaining the business community through these uncertain times. Selections will be made based on the application set forth below. If selected for funding, an applicant will be required to execute the Bordentown City Small Business Grant Agreement, which requires, in part, that the grant be used for business costs directly related to sustaining through this public health crisis. The City Commissioners anticipate the amount of the grant award to be between $2,000 and $3,000.
