BATH — Could your business use a marketing boost? Women, Work, and Community’s marketing mini-grants program is helping small businesses in the Mid-coast put their best foot forward through the funding of professional, effective marketing materials and projects.
WWC will make minigrants of up to $400 to help entrepreneurs promote their businesses through targeted marketing projects, according to a news release.
The next deadline for minigrant applications is May 25, with grants to be awarded in June.
The call for applications is open to entrepreneurs throughout Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Waldo counties. Applications are welcomed from individual entrepreneurs and small businesses as well as business partnerships. Nonprofit groups are not eligible for the mini-grant program.
Successful proposals will focus on marketing, branding and access to markets for Midcoast micro-enterprises. Past grant recipients have used mini-grant funds to build websites, develop logos and branding materials, produce business cards and brochures, purchase banners or business signage, promote their products and services at trade shows and events, and collaborate with other small businesses to reach new markets.
For information or to request an application, contact Women, Work, and Community at 386-1664 or email jenn.dobransky@maine.edu.
