Purpose of the round

The Closure of Impacted Businesses Grant is a non-competitive grant program that aims to help any business reliant on native timber to exit the industry.

The grant offers eligible businesses up to $50,000 in financial assistance to help with expenses associated with closing their business.

Financial assistance will be offered through a two-stage online application process with up to $5,000 available in Stage 1 and up to $45,000 in Stage 2 (or a total of $50,000).

This application form is for Stage 1. Applicants will be issued a link to apply for Stage 2 on confirmation of eligibility.
