Donor Name: Rockingham County
State: New Hampshire
County: Rockingham County (NH)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/30/2023
Size of the Grant: $1,000 and $25,000
Details:
Negative financial impacts include a reduction in revenues, business disruption or closure, event cancellation, increase in operating costs related to implementing COVID-19 prevention and/or mitigation measures or other cost increases related to the pandemic, and/or other similar circumstances during the pandemic that created an economic hardship. A preference shall be given to providing assistance to small businesses in Rockingham County that received little or no State of New Hampshire “Main Street” or federal Payroll Protection Program funds.
Funding Information
The program will provide assistance in the form of grants between $1,000 and $25,000.
The allocation of program funds, made available under U.S. Treasury Expenditure Category 2.35, Aid to Tourism, Travel, or Hospitality, will be evenly distributed amongst the three Commissioner districts of Rockingham County.
If an applicant believes that an award greater than $25,000 is warranted, it can appeal to the County Commissioners for such an amount, based upon the following:
- Severity of negative economic impact due to the COVID public health emergency
- The importance of the applicant’s business to the Rockingham County economy
- The significance of mitigation actions taken by the applicant during the COVID pandemic for which no prior reimbursement funding from the federal or State government was received
- Other relevant factors
