Hancock Chamber members interested in applying for this year's Catalyst Small Business Grant Program are invited to join a free informational webinar on
Friday, July 10, from 10:00–10:30 a.m.

During the 30-minute webinar, Hancock Chamber Executive Director Tish Williams will walk participants through the application process, explain what the grant committee is looking for, discuss eligible project expenses, and answer questions from potential applicants.

The Catalyst Grant Program, made possible through the Mississippi Power Foundation in partnership with the Hancock Chamber and the Hancock County Community Development Foundation, is designed to help small businesses grow while strengthening Hancock County's local economy. The competitive program offers micro-grants going up to $1,500 for projects such as revenue-generating equipment, digital marketing, workforce expansion, and façade improvements. Up to 35 local businesses are expected to benefit through this year's program.

Whether you're applying for the first time or simply want to better understand the program before submitting an application, this webinar is an opportunity to hear directly from Chamber leadership and gain practical guidance before the July 31 application deadline.

The webinar is free and open to all Hancock Chamber small business members. Advance registration is encouraged through the Chamber's event calendar.
