Business Resilience Storm Response Grants

To help marine businesses recover from the devastating impacts of January's coastal storms, Island Institute is expanding our Business Resilience Grant program. Grant awards of up to $5,000 are available for working waterfront businesses that directly support fishing and aquaculture on islands and in fishing-dependent communities that were impacted by the storms on January 10th and 13th. We will review grant applications weekly and have streamlined our application process to ensure these limited funds will quickly arrive in communities. Eligible applicants are for-profit businesses with shoreside infrastructure that supports multiple individuals or that plays a critical role in communities with a demonstrable impact from these storms. Examples of acceptable uses of funds include: • Wharf infrastructure repair. • Equipment repair and replacement. • Short-term operational support. • Other: contact us if you're unsure.
