View kicks off advertising grant program

”We know businesses and workers here are hurting,” said Dalton Sweat, editor of the Wimberley View. ”We’re hurting, too. But if we can pull together as a community, we can weather this. Here at the Wimberley View, we want to do everything we can to help everyone get through the pandemic and get back to work. With these matching grants, we can help local businesses tell their story as they rebound and rebuild.”

Businesses operating in the Wimberley market can apply for grants totaling up to $15,000 today at reboundgrants.com. Applicants will receive a response to their application within one to two business days.

The fund is open to all locally owned and operated businesses and organizations impacted by the coronavirus, Sweat said, whether or not they are Wimberley View advertisers. Grant money can be used for local print and online advertising in Wimberley View and on wimberleyview.com between May 1 and July 31, 2020.

”A community newspaper is only as strong as the community it serves,” Sweat said. ”As an entity that has served this market generation after generation operating for almost 45 years, we have learned that the only way to pull through the hard times is to stand with your partners and customers. We are proud to offer this assistance to the local businesses that form the backbone of the communities where we publish.”
