Business promotion funds
The town of Danville has opened applications for a grant program aimed at supporting brick-and-mortar businesses and local organizations.
Business promotion funds are allocated annually as part of Danville’s budget planning process, with $25,000 in grant funding for the program established in this year’s budget.
“Grant funds are intended to encourage business collaboration and to support marketing efforts for events, programs and innovative solutions that promote economic commerce among Danville’s businesses,” an announcement from town officials said.
Applications are now open for reimbursable General Business and Marketing Promotion grants for qualifying projects from local businesses and organizations, through the end of the month, or until funds are exhausted.
“These funds are intended to be used for purposes deemed to be most advantageous to a broad range of the Danville business community,” the town’s announcement said. “Historically, grants have been given for collaborative events such as the Art and Wine Strolls, Where’s Waldo Scavenger Hunt, Shops and Hops, etc.
In this year’s application review process, town officials will be prioritizing collaborative projects between businesses that provide events and experiences for consumers, the promotion of events and cooperative marketing approaches, the incorporation of the town’s “Live Locally” slogan, and patron safety.
Applications and more information on the program’s requirements are available here.
