Applications Now Open to Sonoma County Locally Owned Businesses and Nonprofits For Matching Funds

In the fall of 2020, GO LOCAL launched a Local Business Recovery Fund that offered immediate benefit to its participants, so we're very glad to offer it for a second year. This program is 100% thanks to our fund sponsors!
With these funds, locally-owned Sonoma County businesses and nonprofits can double their GO LOCAL marketing and advertising investment this fall, helping them improve their marketing presence, reach customers and recover sales more affordably. You can use these funds for the best options for your needs using this 5-page media menu.
  • August, all month: Local businesses submit the easy 1-minute application.
  • September, first week: Recipient businesses contacted.
  • September, all month: Recipients and GO LOCAL meet to craft & launch their custom plan for the best use of their funds.
