Cass County Now offering grants

Cass County Sun (Cass County Now) has established a Community Marketing Grant Program to assist locally owned businesses during the COVID-19 crisis.

Businesses may apply for a dollar-for-dollar advertising/marketing matching grant ranging from $200 to $5,000. These non-cash matching grants will be awarded in May, June, and July.

Cass County Sun has a long history of working closely with small-business owners.

“The unique grant is our opportunity to support local businesses that employ our neighbors, the same businesses being devastated by this current crisis,” publisher Shawn Larson said. “As a leadership organization, we are here to assist those community leaders and organizations who are willing to invest in themselves, their messaging, and, ultimately, their community.”

We believe in your message and we believe that there has never been a more important time for you to broadcast that message than now.”

“As a long time business entity that has served generations in our area, Cass County Sun is proud to return support to our readers and advertisers who have been our partners for years. The future will be bright after weathering this storm,” Larson said. “Now with the same paper servicing all of Cass County under the new name Cass County Now we will have even a better reach for our advertisers giving them more bang for their buck.”
