B Local Asheville & WNC announces newly available grants

Aug 14, 2023 02:09PM ● By WNC Business
The mission of B Local Asheville & WNC is to grow the certified B Corp community in the Asheville area. They've announced the availability of grants of up to $500 to reimburse local companies for their costs related to obtaining B Corp certification.  

To further the goals of the B Corp movement, B Local Asheville & WNC will prioritize grants to companies with majority ownership by underrepresented groups (BIPOC, GLBTIA+, those living with a disability, and women). 

Grant Eligibility
  • Based in or with an operational presence in WNC
  • Certified by B Lab within 90 days of application
  • Less than 10 employees
  • Have not received a grant previously
Grants can be used to offset the certification fee charged by B Lab, funds paid to an institute of higher education for student support to achieve B Corp certification, or the cost of a B Corp certification consultant. 

Additional details and the application can be found on B Local's website.   

Grants will be available so long as funds allow. Donations may be made via our fiscal sponsor, Mountain BizWorks (please add a note with your payment specifying "B Local" to ensure funds reach the organization).
