Chase bank is giving away 12 $250,000 grants to small businesses. Miles to go is in it and needs votes to get the 250 needed to qualify to be reviewed by a panel of judges.

Ben/ Fright-Rags is also doing this and needs votes and the best part, is you can vote for more than one company. So, please help us out and if anyone else is doing this, please post your name to be searched. takes about a min to do and it would help out both of our companies to be considered and voted for.

Instructions.

go to: https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com/

sign in with Facebook(I'm guessing its their voter fraud prevention)

search for the name of the company e.g. miles to go or fright-rags

click vote and done!

    thanks pitch! I'm sure a ton of businesses submitted. if you get the 250, a team of business professionals review each of the submissions that got enough votes, so even being seen gives a chance. plus, 12 people win, so, thats not too bad.

    expand my inventory, new designs, get old souls finally out and into production, hire someone(much needed), make new products i have wanted to do, promote, hit the trade shows properly and maybe buy a proper vehicle for miles to go so i could stop beating the hell out of mine and hit the road for festivals and events more often.

    thanks! i just got home and saw that. I'm so humbled by everyones support and i hope the panel of people who look at the people with over 250 dig what i have. under 250 they don't even bother looking at your business.

    Is it like, most votes wins, or everyone over 250 gets into a draw? Voted for you both, MTG in 270's, Fright-Rags only 120's.

    Sounds like 250 votes gets you to the next stage of review.
  • fright-rags

    Thanks so much for posting this Greg and congrats on getting all 250 votes!! We're just over halfway, so hopefully we can get the rest in the next couple of ads before it's too late. Regardless, I'm glad you got to the next phase and I'm pulling for you to get the grant!

    And thanks to everyone here who voted so far!
  • heat.

    Good luck both of you, good brands!

    yeah, you need a minimum of 250 votes to be passed onto the next round where they have a panel of people review the companies to choose who gets the grants. its the foot in the door to make sure your company at least gets looked at.

    Thanks so much Greg! Yeah, I finally had a chance to send out an email to my list just now and we went from 175 votes to 330 in about five minutes, and it's still climbing. So crazy...and overwhelming. The outpouring of support I have no idea what they use as criteria from here on out, but I'm glad we were able to make it this far. Best of luck to you and I will make another mention on Facebook about voting for you when I post later this evening. More votes can't hurt, right?
  • DanielAndHisArt

    Please keep all discussion regarding this grant in this thread please. All new companies that have signed up, please do not make separate threads for your brands.
  • HostileCityDesigns

    Sorry about the repost. Didn't know this thread existed.

    Anyways...We really could use all of your help in qualifying for 250k grant program. Please just head over to https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com/ and cast your vote for "Hostile City Designs". Every vote counts. We need 212 more votes to qualify and only have 2 days left to get them so please lend a hand if you can, it only takes a few seconds.
  • NickThreadbird

    Hey guys,
    Threadbird jumped on this bandwagon yesterday as well. We are in the process of trying to bring in some new equipment and something like this would be extremely helpful.

    If you could search for us and vote that would be great. We are doing this last second and rushing to try and get enough votes.
