Fall Coffee

I hope you are enjoying this beautiful fall day! Don't forget that you can have free brewed coffee and tea and we just switched to fall flavors - just ask for a mug at the front counter. We also set out an air pot of coffee after we close for you to enjoy. Enter your pin + the pound sign to enter the cafe after hours.

Grant Opportunities for Small Businesses

I received notice recently of a couple different grant opportunities that some of you might be interested in. These are attainable grants! We were lucky enough to win one back in May for The Meeting Place.

Grant # 1

We want our members to know about an incredible small business funding opportunity. Our friends at Excelerate America are hosting a new $20,000 Grant Competition in partnership with ODP Business Solutions. They’re looking for small business owners on a mission to positively impact their local community and/or fellow businesses.

 

The application period is open now through Friday, September 30. 

 

20 small business entrepreneurs will be selected as Semi-Finalists and eight will continue on to compete for over $20,000 in cash and prizes. 

 

We know that the money and connections this competition provides could be serious game changers for our members and hope you take advantage and apply.
