Christmas in July Grant Program

Christmas is July is back!  Registration will open on July 1st.  The grant will be open for applications from July 1, 2026 thru July 31, 2026.   We want to focus on our members and what you need by providing a Christmas in July Grant program. We are going to be offering up to $2000 in matching grant funding to members for related business "improvement" expenses (furniture, equipment, signage, etc), excluding payroll and operating expenses (utilities, rent/mortgage, etc).

The expense cannot have been purchased/paid for prior to January 1, 2026.  If you have already purchased the item, please include a receipt.  If the item has not been purchased, please include a cost estimate.   

We will only approve up to half of the expense. Board Members are not eligible for the Christmas in July Grant.  The grant will be open for applications from July 1, 2026 thru July 31, 2026. Grant winners will be chosen at the WRC Chamber of Commerce Board meeting in August.  See the attached flyer or go to www.wrccoc.com/christmas-in-july for more information.
