Iowa-based Lee Enterprises
has launched a local business stimulus program aimed at helping local
businesses adapt in an evolving economic environment, says the company.
The company will make up to $5 million available to local
businesses through monthly grants ranging from $250 to $15,000. The grants will
be awarded in August, September and October of this year.
“This stimulus program follows the highly successful grant
program we launched in April of this year,” said Ray Farris, Lee operating vice
president and vice president of advertising. “While providing nearly $5 million
of much-needed marketing grants to local advertisers, we gained great insight
into the challenges our customers are facing. We’ve shaped the business
stimulus program to meet those challenges and help local business not only
recover, but flourish, in today’s business climate.”
The program will be available to locally owned and
operated businesses and will provide matching advertising credits for use in
print and digital products as well as the company’s suite of digital services.
