The application process has opened for small businesses and community organizations in Snoqualmie to request emergency funding through the City of Snoqualmie COVID-19 Snoqualmie Rapid Relief Program. The city will partner with the SnoValley Chamber of Commerce to help administer the process.
This emergency program will provide working capital grants - in amounts generally limited from $1,000 up to $10,000 - to small, locally-owned businesses, social service agencies, and community organizations that meet specific criteria outlined in the application. There will be limited consideration given for grants greater than $10,000 for those that play a significant role in the broader cultural, retail, and economic vitality of Snoqualmie.
Businesses must be located within Snoqualmie city limits. Applicants that are non-profit corporations or community organizations must be located within Snoqualmie city limits or – if not located within Snoqualmie city limits – must provide essential human/social services to Snoqualmie residents or play a significant economic, social, or cultural role for Snoqualmie.
The funding for this program is made possible by City of Snoqualmie funds and reimbursements from the State of Washington using Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) dollars available to support local recovery efforts from the impact of the COVID-19 crisis.
The Rapid Relief Program Application and Economic Injury Worksheet are posted on the city website. . Both the application and worksheet need to be completed and submitted no later than June 8 at 5 p.m. to the SnoValley Chamber of Commerce at info@snovalley.org.
