The Rotary Club of Tortola is pleased to announce that it has awarded grants to a total of 69 qualifying small businesses, out of the 103 applications received.
President of the Club, Dion Stoutt said “we are extremely grateful to the donor of these funds which have enabled our Club to fulfill one of its objectives, that of providing economic support to the BVI community and specifically to businesses adversely impacted by Covid 19. I sincerely wish that we could help all the applicants but unfortunately with limited funds this was not possible.”
The Rotary Club of Tortola took the decision to use 50% of a donation of $200,000 in this manner to help small businesses. The remainder will be utilized to support other Covid related causes.
Disbursement of approved funds for small businesses started on Monday 12th October, 2020.
