Asheville Strong for small businesses in Buncombe County

Asheville -- The Asheville Strong Fund is a micro-grant program for small businesses in Buncombe County who are facing a crisis and need emergency funding to cover their business expenses.

We are currently seeding the Fund with individual and corporate donations and plan to launch the Fund in 2020. You can keep our economy healthy, diverse, and equitable with your donation today!

Over the coming weeks and months, our favorite restaurants, hotels, shops, salons, theaters, markets and other hardworking WNC businesses are going to see a decline in visitors.
But we can help in other ways: ordering food to go, shopping online, tipping well, and buying gift cards TODAY for use at a later date. Gift cards equal immediate cash flow. And cash flow is the lifeblood of our local businesses.
Asheville Strong™ is a nonprofit organization that supports local small businesses through a gift card directory, online resources, and crisis relief.
Please help us spread the word and support the businesses you love by purchasing a gift card and sharing the movement on social media.
