These funds are made available through a New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) Micro-enterprise grant.
In Vermont and New Hampshire, funds are available for businesses through the USDA Small Business Cost Share Program. Businesses with fewer than 50 employees and gross profit under $1,000,000 are eligible. The grant could cover as much as 65% of the project cost with the business cost-share component at 35%.
How can I help?
NCICIMPACT
Phlume Media was instrumental in making Adaptive Motorsports and Wellness aware of the Northern Community Investment Capital (NCIC) support and services. Adaptive Motorsports and Wellness signature product, VXP2.com, needed a web site and filming in order to share a visual of the benefits of our unique product and services. NCIC Business Programs Administrator Aimee Quimby worked with us to secure needed funding to share the best kept secret from the Great North Woods to a growing Global Market … during the pandemic no-less.

NCIC funding has helped us immensely over the last year and a half. With their support, we were able to rebrand, redesign and refresh our print collateral, design custom items for our gift shop and hire professional consultancy during phases of strategic planning and other development initiatives. Now our organization proudly boasts a new look which properly reflects our new momentum as well as the development support to see us through this phase of exciting growth!
