Just in time for Mother’s Day— a St. Louis Mom-Owned Business Grant!

As a Mom-owned small business, we at St. Louis Mom understand firsthand how the global pandemic has impacted local business. The strain on the supply chain as of late has been exhausting to navigate, and we know countless businesses have undergone severe losses by not being able to sell their product in person and participate in other essential business practices. We know Moms have worked around the clock to keep their businesses and their families afloat!

That’s why we are passionate about doing something! 

St. Louis Mom exists to encourage, equip, and empower local moms. And guess what? We’re mom-owned and operated! We love to give back to the community of Moms that we serve. We regularly host events and initiatives and promote content on behalf of local business owners. However, in addition, during this time we want to invest in St. Louis Moms who own their own businesses!

The St. Louis Mom-Owned Small Business Grant 

This year for Mother’s Day, we are giving a $500+ grant to one St. Louis Mom-owned small business to help support their business. St. Louis Mom pledges to provide the winner with a $500 grant, but we also invite YOU to participate. Help us give even more to local Mom-owned businesses by making a donation with each nomination – all donated funds will be lumped in with the $500 grant from St. Louis Mom! 

 

 

How it Works

St. Louis Mom will accept applications and nominations beginning Sunday, April 24th through Saturday, April 30th. Finalists will be selected and announced on Monday, May 2nd. The finalists will be featured on St. Louis Mom’s website and social media, and voting will begin to select the winner. Voting closes on Saturday, May 7th, and the winner will be announced on Mother’s Day, May 8th! 

 

Nominate a St. Louis Mom-Owned Business

Anyone can nominate a St. Louis Mom-owned business and join the initiative! All proceeds will help provide additional grant money to support local Mom-owned businesses. The more businesses you nominate, the more impact we can make collectively to encourage local Mom business owners.
