Business Support

Our Business Support program allows you to connect with expert consultants in website development & training; strategic marketing, including social media; one-on-one accounting training, and more. The Mountain Association can cover 75% of the cost of an approved project. However, we are committed to serving everyone and we may be able to cover more or even all of the cost on a case-by-case basis.

Applications will be reviewed once a month, so you may not hear anything from us from up to 30 days depending on when you applied. Thank you for your patience as we process applications!

If you were impacted by recent flooding, please apply at the specific link below as your project will be prioritized.

Note: this is not an application for a loan or a grant. To apply for a loan, please visit here. Mountain Association does not provide grants.
