Available Grants
The City of Terre Haute Small Business Grant Program was developed to provide financial support for small businesses in the City of Terre Haute to respond to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and to increase the economic health of the area. Understanding many small businesses and nonprofits are still healing economically from the pandemic, or growth was stalled due to the pandemic, the city wants to positively impact their ability to stabilize and ultimately grow. The program also focuses on multiple pillars of the See You In Terre Haute Community Plan, including economic development, quality of life, and talent attraction and retention. These grants are intended to help small businesses grow, support business recovery, and increase the overall resiliency of local businesses in the City of Terre Haute.
Grant awards will be made up to a maximum of $100,000 and a minimum of $10,000. Grant amounts will be based on supporting the applicant’s goal in their application. Awardees will have 24 months to complete projects.
Project Qualification Survey
As the first step, each applicant will complete a Project Qualification Survey outlining their basic funding request and business basics and provide Business Eligibility documents. This entry will be done in an open survey utilizing Survey Monkey as an easy way for businesses to apply.
Review of these documents will determine whether or not a business is eligible to apply for funding. The answers to these questions will not be evaluated based on their response, but rather to ensure that answers align with the goals of the funding and that the business qualifies to fully apply. This will help potential applicants avoid developing lengthy proposals which are not competitive. It will also potentially reduce the number of applicants submitting full proposals to a manageable size for thorough review.
If the Project Qualification Survey doesn’t align with eligible funding opportunities, varies significantly from the grant purpose and outcomes, or if any of the requested Business Eligibility documents are not available and submitted, the applying business will not be allowed to submit a full application and will be removed from the process and notified of the decision.
There will be two rounds of review for Project Qualification and Business Eligibility. EARLY DEADLINE IS MAY 16, 2024 AT 5:00 PM WITH THE FINAL DEADLINE OF JUNE 27, 2024 AT 5:00 PM. All businesses only need to apply once by the final deadline. Those that are deemed ineligible after the first review are able to resubmit by the final deadline if their project can be revised or they can remedy disqualification issues.
The City of Terre Haute nonprofit grant program was developed to provide financial support for nonprofits in the City of Terre Haute in response to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted nearly all aspects of support services from local community nonprofits, increasing needs in programming and staffing while crippling fundraising efforts.
These grants are intended to help alleviate the pressure of operational supports for nonprofits and allow them to build capacity and organizational development that responds and adapts to the growing needs of our most vulnerable in the city of Terre Haute.
These grants are designed to help organizations work more efficiently and effectively and are meant to aid development at a structural level, increasing an organization’s ability to deliver on its mission over time. They are not intended to cover routine core operating expenses nor provide on-going programmatic support.
Grant awards will be made up to a maximum of $50,000 and a minimum of $10,000. Grant amounts will be based on supporting the applicant’s goal in their application. Awardees will have 18 months to complete projects.
Project Qualification Survey
As the first step, each applicant will complete a Project Qualification Survey outlining their basic funding request and organization’s basics and provide Stewardship Package documents. This entry will be done in an open survey utilizing Survey Monkey as an easy way for organizations to apply.
Review of these documents will determine whether an organization is eligible to apply for funding. The answers to these questions will not be evaluated based on their response, but rather to ensure that answers align with the goals of the funding and that the organization qualifies to fully apply. This will help potential applicants avoid developing lengthy proposals which are not competitive. DEADLINE FOR ENTRY IS MAY 30, 2024 AT 5:00 PM.

The Success By 6 Council, supported by the Natalie Pugh Memorial Professional Development fund, is looking to help fulfill the need for trained early childhood education teachers with the development of their Early Childhood Education Credential Assistance Program (CAP).
