​EMERGENCY RELIEF AND RESPONSE GRANT
from the Staples Motley Area
​Community Foundation


The Staples Motley Area Community Foundation (SMACF) is offering a second round of Emergency Relief and Response grants to area businesses who have been negatively impacted by COVID-19.  To be eligible for funding, businesses must be in industries listed in Executive Order (EO) 20-99 and be operating within the boundaries of the Staples-Motley School District, ISD 2170.  Applications must be submitted by February 5th at noon and can be found at https://www.grantinterface.com/Home/Logon?urlkey=ifound

Eligible businesses can use the grant funds to cover reimbursable expenses occurred during the dial-down period, which started on November 20, 2020.  Examples of such expenses include, but are not limited to, utility bills, inventory purchases, and ongoing expenses that could have been paid had the business not been shut down.  If accepted to receive a grant, businesses will be asked to submit a receipt for their expenses before funds are distributed.

"Our local businesses play an important role in shaping our community," said SMACF Chair, Katie Heppner.  "The Emergency Relief and Response grant are our way of showing them our appreciation and support during this difficult time.  We'd like to ask that others show their support by eating and shopping local."

For more information about the grants, please contact Katie Heppner by phone at 218-929-3015 or by email at smacf@ifound.org.
