The Economic Development Councils of Clallam, Grays Harbor and Jefferson Counties, as well as Peninsula and Grays Harbor Colleges, are thrilled to announce a new innovative grant program
called Olympic Peninsula Small Business Boost!
The collaborating partners were awarded $1.3M from Department of Commerce to offer free professional legal and/or marketing services (including simple website development) to the underserved
businesses within our counties through June 1, 2023. In addition, free bookkeeping services will be available to help small business get set up in QuickBooks!
Not only will small businesses benefit from this grant, but it also provides FREE online Bookkeeping Classes to 20+ students living in one of the counties. These students will receive
free online training, a monthly stipend, and a laptop computer loaded with QuickBooks and MS Office that is theirs to keep upon successful class completion.
Starting in April 2023, these newly certified bookkeepers will be positioned as interns at small businesses that request bookkeeping support. During this phase, each student will be
supported by the colleges’ technical experts, and they will earn $50 per hour, which is paid for by the grant.
“This is a win-win-win for our community!” said Clallam EDC Executive Director Colleen McAleer. “Each of our communities lacked enough bookkeepers to serve small business requesting
help. Now we can help those businesses and train a cohort of professionals at the same time. These newly minted entrepreneurs will likely have a dozen or more clients to launch their
own business.”
