\n\nBusiness Topics at 12: Grants 101
\n\nJoin the Wilkes Chamber of Commerce for our next Business Topics at 12 session\, where we'\;re tackling one of the most common questions we hear from small business owners: "\;How do I get a grant?"\;
\n\nThe honest answer is that no single source has the full picture\, grant knowledge is scattered across a handful of local organizations\, each holding a different piece of the puzzle. This roundtable brings those perspectives together in one room\, so you leave with a clearer map of what'\;s really available\, whether it'\;s worth pursuing\, and who to talk to next.
\n\nWe'\;ll cover:
\n\n\n - What grant programs actually exist locally &mdash\; and how competitive they are
\n - Common eligibility requirements and reasons applications get turned down
\n - Small\, accessible opportunities you may not know about (like downtown/facade improvement grants)
\n - What goes into writing a strong\, fundable application
\n - Whether chasing a grant is actually worth the time and effort &mdash\; and when it isn'\;t
\n - Where to turn if you don'\;t know where to start
\n
\n\nPanelists bring perspective from:
\n\n\n - Wilkes EDC
\n - Wilkes Community College Small Business Center
\n - Wilkes Community College Grants Office
\n - North Wilkesboro Historic Downtown Partnership
