West Business Development Center to distribute $200,000 to micro-businesses in Mendocino

MENDOCINO Co., 6/18/20 — The Community Foundation of Mendocino has awarded $200,000 to the West Business Development Center, which will distribute the money in grants of up to $5,000 to at least 40 micro-businesses in the county as part of their efforts to provide economic assistance during the COVID pandemic. 

The Community Foundation set up the Business Innovation and Resiliency Fund last month with a starting anonymous gift of $100,000. That gift was matched, and the Community Foundation has now raised $200,000, which it awarded to the West Business Development Center to distribute to local businesses.
