Last Chance: MA Small Business Grant Application Period Closes Tomorrow at Midnight
The Baker Administration's $668 million business relief package, administered by Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation (MGCC), is still accepting applications.

MGCC is reviewing existing applications from the first small business relief program, and has released a new application for the sector-specific grant program which may be found at program overview link below.
A program overview for the sector-specific program is online and can be found here. The application period for the program closes Friday, January 15th. Click here for more information
