Manitoba Bridge Grant Program – Canada
Deadline: 16-Jul-21
The provincial government is reopening the Manitoba Bridge Grant program with an estimated $5 million in support for seasonal businesses and new applicants affected by the current public health orders.
There are two streams of the Manitoba Bridge Grant: Stream A and Stream B.
Stream A is for store-front businesses.
A store-front business is one which is open for clients or the public to enter.
Stream B is for home-based businesses.
A home based business is one which is not open to clients or the public. A business that applies to the incorrect stream will be asked to reapply under the correct stream.
Funding Information
The Manitoba Bridge Grant – Stream A provides a one-time $5,000 grant to eligible Manitoba small- and medium-sized store-front businesses and organizations.
The grant provides financial assistance to eligible Manitoba businesses and organizations that are required to fully close their premises to the public as a result of Manitoba COVID-19 public health orders.
