Please join the Simsbury Main Street Partnership by showing your support for Kanes Market and RJ's Spirit Shop! Demonstrating their ongoing commitment to small businesses, Chase and LivingSocial are sponsoring "Mission: Small Business℠" a grant program awarding up to $3 million to small business owners nationwide.
The Program, which will provide up to 12 individual grants of $250,000 was developed to provide small businesses with resources needed to make a positive impact on their business. Mission: Small Business℠ invites small business owners who have been in business for at least two years and have less than 100 employees to apply for a Grant for their business. These two businesses told Chase and LivingSocial why their business is unique, outline a proposed plan for utilizing the Grant to grow their business
and describe how the business is involved with its community.
Supporters are encouraged to get involved by clicking the "Support" button at missionsmallbusiness.com and voting for their favorite registered small businesses. You can vote for both of them. Each time a consumer clicks to support small business, Chase will add five dollars to the Grant Pool, up to a maximum of $3 million. Each registered small business must receive at least 250 votes to be considered for a Grant.
The voting period is open until June 30, 2012. At the end of the Voting Period, small business applicants that have received 250 votes will have their applications evaluated and Grant Recipients will be chosen. Grant Recipients will be announced on or before September 15, 2012. Join the Simsbury Main Street Partnershp Inc. in
helping promote these two amazing small businesses!
