The purpose of the Small Business Marketing Grant Program for businesses with 25-75 employees is to aid in the promotion of small, non-agriculture-based businesses located in Garrett County.

For-profit, non-agriculture businesses with 26 to 75 employees and with a physical location in Garrett County are eligible to apply. 
 
Applicant businesses must be in good standing with the State of Maryland and Garrett County Government; and have a current Garrett County Business License, if required by law.
 
Grants of up to $1,000 each may be awarded to fund up to 90% of the costs of each project. Applicant must contribute at least 10% of the total project costs.
 
Any reasonable marketing-related cost can be paid with this grant award, subject to approval. If promotional items are purchased using grant funds, those items must be giveaways and cannot be sold for profit.
 
Applicant must submit the grant application and receive written notice of grant approval prior to incurring any expenses. Applicant will not be reimbursed for any expenses incurred prior to the grant award date.
 
Applicant is not eligible for multiple awards during any given fiscal year.
 
Grant funds are limited each fiscal year, and grants will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. The grant program for any given fiscal year will close once available grant funds have been exhausted.
