WILMINGTON — Two local organizations have joined forces to help support small businesses.
Wilmington Downtown Inc. has partnered with United Way of the Cape Fear Area to launch the Small Business Circle initiative. It provides the opportunity for businesses to contribute to nonprofits with a one-time donation that in turn leads to increased advertising for the business.
For $365 a small business will receive promotional signage at United Way events, brand exposure in posts and newsletters, acknowledgement on its website and other benefits. Business owners can also participate in a 90-day fundraising campaign instead of providing a one-time donation.
The funds can provide one-year of healthcare for an individual, seven weeks of healthy snacks for 25 children, or one year of feminine products for seven women.
United Way of the Cape Fear Area has a goal to support more than 40 nonprofits in the region dedicated to increasing health, education and financial stability to vulnerable populations. Through collaboration, small businesses can help mobilize local support, engage the community and bring creative ideas to the table, according to United Way’s release.
Businesses can learn more or sign up to participate here.
