New Chestnut Hill Small Businesses Grant Program Launches

CHESTNUT HILL, PHILADELPHIA — After such a positive response to Chestnut Hill Business District's Keep It On The Hill campaign, the business district is extending the initiative and expanding it to offer grants to local businesses.

The Chestnut Hill Business District announced the COVID-19 Small Business Support Grants.

These Small Business Support Grants will seek to provide critical funding support to small businesses in Chestnut Hill whose survival is threatened by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Small Business Support Grants will work alongside other public and private funding sources to help vulnerable enterprises stay in business and continue to provide employment locally

To make a donation or find additional information on the COVID-19 Small Business Support Grants, visit Chestnut Hill's website here.

"At this challenging time for independent merchants, we are pleased to launch a new managed grant program that will allow the public to donate directly to small businesses whose survival is being threatened by the continued crisis," said Philip Dawson, executive director of Chestnut Hill Business District.

Additionally, as part of #KeepItOnTheHill, the Chestnut Hill Business District has compiled and updates weekly a comprehensive online guide of take-out, delivery, and curbside pickup options at local restaurants, as well as a list of virtual offerings, specials, and programming of 50 Chestnut Hill shops and institutions.

A list of participating businesses and more is below.

"Through our ongoing #KeepItOnTheHill campaign, we are proud to highlight more than 70 of Chestnut Hill's small businesses who have found safe and creative ways to continue serving their customers,” said Dawson. “By supporting local merchants when they need it most, we can ensure that the small businesses that give our community its character emerge resilient from this difficult time."
