Program Details
How much can I receive?
Grants range from $500 to $1,000. Awards are made on a rolling basis, round by round, until the funds are depleted — so if you miss a deadline, watch for the next round.
Who can apply?
The program is open to all Quincy Chamber of Commerce members — both nonprofit and for-profit businesses.
Not a member yet? Chamber membership is the first step to qualifying. It also connects you to a network of local businesses, promotion, and support. Join the Chamber or reach out to us at the Quincy Hub — we'd love to have you.
What does it fund?
Micro grants are for investments in growth — things that help you expand, improve, or strengthen your business. For example:
- New equipment or tools that increase your capacity
- Signage, façade, or storefront improvements
- Marketing, branding, or a website upgrade
- Technology that helps you serve customers better
- A new product line, service, or offering
What it does not cover: routine operating costs like rent, regular payroll, utilities, or restocking everyday inventory. Think of it as fuel for growth, not day-to-day expenses.
What we look for
Strong applications tend to show:
- Growth impact — a clear picture of how this investment helps your business expand or improve.
- Feasibility — a realistic plan that the grant amount can actually accomplish.
- Benefit to Quincy — how your growth strengthens our local economy and community.
You don’t need a professional grant writer — just tell us honestly what you’d do and why it matters.
