Chase And Living Social are teaming up for “Mission: Small Business” to grant money to small businesses around the country. With the help of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Mission: Small Business will grant $3 million nationwide to small businesses. 12 lucky small businesses will win $250,000 to help build their business.
“Small businesses are invaluable to the growth of our economy, and the ‘Mission: Small Business’ grant program is designed to provide small businesses with the solutions they need to grow and thrive,” said Richard Quigley, president, Business Card, Chase. “The program aims to find innovative small business owners and provide them with the capital to help execute a business plan for growth.”
Get involved by clicking the “Support” button at missionsmallbusiness.com and vote for their favorite registered small businesses. For each pledge of support, Chase will add five dollars to the grant pool, which is up to $3 million. Businesses must receive at least 250 votes to be considered for a grant. The voting period is open from May 7, 2012 through June 30, 2012. We would love your support here at California Cozy.
