According to their website, $500,000 was anonymously donated to the fund to support hometown Bemidji businesses that have been significantly affected by the pandemic.
Up to $20,000 may be provided to eligible businesses, with fund priorities focusing on sit-down restaurants, bars and pubs, salons and spas, fitness centers, small retail businesses and tourism-related small businesses.
Applications, which are available on Greater Bemidji’s website, are due by 5 p.m. Friday.
