And the winner is…

The winners of the Mission Main Street Grants Program were announced today. Congratulations to the twelve small businesses that will each be receiving $250,000 to help make a positive impact in their communities.

PTA was one of the nearly 35,000 small businesses that applied for a grant this past year.  We knew from the get-go that winning would be a long shot.  We decided to apply anyway and even though we didn’t win, the grant process was energizing for us.  The pressure of a deadline was great motivation and it pushed us to reach out to our community and share our plans to pilot a new small business mentor training program.  This process has motivated us to expand our offerings and think about new ways to support small businesses.

Thank you again to everyone who showed their support for Paul Terry & Associates.  With or without grant support, together we can make great things happen.
