• Make less than $1million in annual sales
• Have 20 or fewer FULL-TIME employees

Anything Else I Need to Know?

• If you are awarded a grant, we ask that you kindly write in to the HBCi and tell us how your business has been adversely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and how this grant will positively effect your business
• Only one grant will be awarded per-business
