New businesses or existing businesses looking to expand are encouraged to take part in Fusion Credit Union's Community Infusion program.
Applications are being accepted from now until June 8th, at which time a short list will be determined to send in business plans for their ideas.
A final short list will then be selected, with those entrepreneurs pitching their plan to a panel of judges at a live event on October 21st in Hamiota.
The finalists will then share in thirty thousand in grant money.
Fusion CEO Darwin Johns says they are proud to support economic development in the communities they serve.
"By encouraging these small businesses and start-ups through our Community Infusion program. And chatting with a number of the participants in the past, they see a lot of value in the process, not just simply the grant money. The local economic development promotes community resilience, enhances community identity, and ensures residents take pride in our local products\ and services."
