Back to Business

The Back to Business Grant Program, part of the Southeast Kentucky Chamber’s Resilience Fund, is designed to support businesses in Chamber-served counties as they recover and reopen following the February 2025 flood challenges. With a total fund of $25,000, the program will provide grants ranging from $500 to $1,500, prioritizing Chamber members.

Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to reopening within two months or return the awarded funds. This Reopening Grant aims to provide timely assistance, with recipients selected within two weeks to ensure businesses can quickly regain stability and continue serving their communities.

The Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce represents the eight Eastern Kentucky Counties of Floyd, Johnson, Knott, Lawrence, Letcher, Magoffin, Martin, and Pike.

The grant selection process will be conducted with careful consideration to ensure funds are distributed effectively to support businesses in need. While a total of $25,000 is available, funding is limited and not all applicants are guaranteed to receive a grant. Priority will be given to Southeast Kentucky Chamber members, but all eligible businesses in Chamber-served counties are encouraged to apply. Grant amounts will range from $500 to $1,500, and applications will be reviewed based on demonstrated need and commitment to reopening.
