Application Now Open for Lansing Region Emergency Small Business Relief Grant
The application for $10,000 Emergency Small Business Relief Grants is now available on the LEAP website, www.purelansing.com/businessrelief. As a reminder, LEAP was allocated $600,000 in emergency small business relief grant funds from the MEDC to distribute sixty (60) $10,000 grants to Lansing region small businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please share this opportunity with your networks to help get the word out to City of Lansing businesses. Note that this process is very brief in order to get these much needed funds to businesses as quickly as possible. The application will close on Tuesday, March 31st at 11:59PM and awardees announced by April 6th.
Applications will be reviewed thoroughly and the process will be highly competitive, so businesses are encouraged to take their time with the application and look over all grant materials carefully before submitting an application.
Small businesses wishing to apply for grant funds must be Michigan-based with under 50 employees (full or part time) and meet additional criteria. The application and eligibility information, including FAQs and local contacts, are available at www.purelansing.com/businessrelief.
