BDC Grant Application (Quick Fix Facade Grant)

Quick Fix Facade Grant Application

BDC Small Grants Program
This program funds exterior improvements including painting, window repair, new storefronts, awnings and signage. This is a $1:$1 matching reimbursement grant, up to $2,500. Business or development plan not required for this program only. The program requires a one-page application and has expedited review. It is not available in combination with other grants. Applications for the Quick Fix Façade Grant program are accepted on a rolling basis.

Funding Source & Availability

The grants in this funding cycle are matching grants that require a 50% match by the applicant and are structured as deferred loans, which means that if the improvements stay in place for a period of three years the interest-free loan becomes a grant. However, if the business or property closes or changes hands, the appropriately pro-rated portion of the loans becomes due to the BDC. Grant funding is awarded as a reimbursement for approved project work with invoices marked "PAID" provided to the BDC.
