FRANKLIN, Ind. – The Greater Franklin Chamber of Commerce is seeking applications for its second round of the small business capacity-building grant program. This project of the Franklin Chamber Foundation will award 12 grants of $2500 each to local small businesses.
“In Franklin, small business owners are friends and neighbors who are the foundation of our city. We are delighted to assist in strengthening these businesses that are so important to the fabric of our community and we are grateful for the funding of this program from the Franklin Economic Development Commission,” said President/CEO of the Greater Franklin Chamber of Commerce Rosie Chambers.
Grant applications are open through August 2. Small businesses of 10 or fewer full-time employees can submit applications for the grants which may be used for initiatives such as expanding a physical space, online presence, or marketing initiatives.
