The Vernon County Community Development Department announced this week they are opening the 2026 Elevate Vernon Grant Program, made possible by contributed funds from the Ho-Chunk Nation. Elevate Vernon is a small business grant designed to help local businesses and entrepreneurs take the next step in starting, growing, strengthening, or transitioning their operations. In addition to financial support, the program helps encourage business owners to invest in their own growth through business skill development.
Eligible applicants include for-profit businesses of all types with 10 or fewer full-time equivalent employees located in Vernon County. Businesses may apply for grants up to $10,000 and must provide either a 20% cash match or participate in up to 20 hours of technical assistance focused on strengthening business knowledge and skills. Businesses that received the grant in 2025 are ineligible.
