The Squamish Chamber of Commerce has launched a Grant Writing Support program for local businesses.
The Squamish Chamber grant writing program will provide Squamish small businesses with free access to grant writers who can assist with the application process for COVID-19 business recovery grants.
The program offers three levels of service (businesses may apply for one or more service level) including: 1) Discussion and Consultation – up to two hours 2) Grant Writing – up to eight hours 3) Revision and Review – up to two hours.
The grant support service is available to both members and non-members of the Squamish Chamber who meet eligibility criteria. Eligible businesses must be Squamish based and small-medium sized businesses.
Grant writing support is only focused on COVID-19 business recovery grants, and non-profits will be considered for COVID-19 business recovery grants.
The grant writing support is available on a first-come, first-serve basis until funding is expended.
Once the Chamber has reviewed your submission, the Squamish Chamber will pair you with a grant writer. For more information, access to eligibility criteria and the application form, please visit
“Over the last year, there have been a number of grants released to support our small businesses in pandemic recovery. We are aware that some of the grant programs are undersubscribed and received feedback from businesses on the challenges of navigating the programs, understanding eligibility criteria and finding time to apply.” said Louise Walker, Executive Director of the Squamish Chamber.
The Squamish Chamber is committed to supporting Squamish businesses, and is grateful to the district for supporting the delivery of this new grant writing support service to benefit the local economy.
