Buncombe County Adds $1.5 Million for Grants; Applications Due Soon for Two Major Grant Programs

The Asheville-Buncombe Rebuilding Together Grant Fund is designed to provide direct grant awards to small businesses in the City of Asheville and Buncombe County that have been severely impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Businesses may apply for a grant up to $25,000 to support recovery expenses not covered by insurance or other funding sources.

There is no annual revenue threshold for this grant. Eligible businesses must have fewer than 200 employees. Priority will be given to the most impacted areas and companies, and will prioritize independent small business owners who lack access to other available funding resources.
