The Sioux Center Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the launch of a Small Business Recovery Fund (SBRF) in a response to disaster situations and the challenges they present to small businesses and non-profit organizations in the Sioux Center community. The Chamber of Commerce works to advance the economic development, vitality and growth of the community. It is imperative to support small businesses during times of need, and the fund will help mitigate financial hardships that Sioux Center small businesses may experience as a result of natural disasters. Grants will range between $500-$5000 per qualifying business.

The SBRF will also provide an opportunity for community members and businesses to give with the reassurance their donations will be used to quickly move resources to where they are most needed and to adapt to evolving needs. The flexibility of this fund will ensure that the community will be able to respond to needs that are not being met by existing non-profit, local, state and federal programs.

“This is another wonderful example of Progress through Cooperation that serves our community so well,” said Sioux Center Mayor David Krahling.  “Sioux County has recently been recognized as one of the more generous counties in the country, so this sort of generosity is not surprising, but it still thrills me to see the community come together to support those small businesses that are profoundly impacted by this crisis.”
