Pierce County Small Business Strengthening & Security Matching Grant
The Pierce County Small Business Strengthening and Security Matching Grant Program is now open until Friday, February 16 at 5pm. Please note eligibility is limited to small businesses located in unincorporated Pierce County, and several small cities and towns.
Eligible businesses should demonstrate a need for funding that will allow the business to implement safety/security improvements, improve operations and processes, or upgrade facilities and equipment.
Subject to available funds, the grant reimburses 50% of eligible costs up to $10,000 of reimbursement per applicant. Applications will be reviewed until all funds are exhausted and preference will be given to businesses in high-crime areas, those that have been victims of crime, those that can complete the project quickly, and those that have not previously received grant funding from Pierce County.
Since this is a matching grant program, the cost of the project must be matched by an equal amount from the business. For example, if a restaurant needs to purchase a new freezer for a total cost of $16,000, they could apply to the County for a grant of $8,000.
