New Missouri small business grant program
July 22, 2020
Missouri has announced two new programs that will send $50 million in grants to businesses across the state. If you have a small business or farm that was interrupted due to the COVID-19 crisis, the state has funding available to reimburse some costs. The grant includes eligibility guidelines to target the funding toward the most hard-hit businesses.
This program is available to for-profit businesses and family-owned farms that employ 50 or fewer employees. Funds can be used to cover facility redesign and labor, air filtration systems, e-commerce website design, worker salaries during closure or reduced hours, and necessary costs to make the business more resilient as a result of COVID-19, among others.
In addition, if you are a manufacturer interested in retooling your plant to produce personal protective equipment (PPE), funds are available.
