Experience Chehalis offers a small event micro-grant to provide matching grant funds to downtown business owners who host an event at their business within downtown Chehalis. Experience Chehalis works to support and foster the health and viability of our business community, and the Small Event Micro-Grant aims to encourage businesses to initiate events to increase commerce and visitors to downtown Chehalis.

The grant provides a 75 percent match, up to $500 per business for approved costs including supplies and marketing/promotion, excluding alcohol. Applications will be accepted for as long as funding is available each year. Grant awards will be first-come, first-served, and based on available funding.  Work done prior to the grant award is not eligible for grant funding.  Applications will be reviewed and awarded by Experience Chehalis and applications are being accepted now.
