TRANSYLVANIA TOMORROW 2024

In response to Hurricane Helene’s devastation, we are working quickly to relaunch the Transylvania Tomorrow Small Business Emergency Relief Fund. This initiative aims to provide critical relief to the Transylvania County business community by establishing a way to collect funds that can be directly distributed to those in need. We are inspired by the outpouring of support from individuals who love this area and want to help from afar.

We are committed to ensuring that assistance reaches the businesses in our community impacted by Hurricane Helene. In the coming weeks, we will work to establish guidelines and applications for support. While more details will be available soon, we encourage everyone to consider donating as we unite to rebuild and strengthen our community.

The Transylvania Tomorrow Emergency Support Grant Program, funded through the Community Focus Foundation 501(c)(3), will provide resources for recovery efforts. This initiative builds on the success of our past efforts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Transylvania Tomorrow Small Business Emergency Relief Fund raised and distributed $250,000, supporting 111 local businesses in need.

The Business Support Task Force was formed as a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the mission of collaboratively supporting the community in times of crisis. The Task Force sponsors the fund and includes the Brevard/Transylvania Chamber of Commerce, Heart of Brevard, Transylvania Economic Alliance, Small Business Center at Blue Ridge Community College, and Transylvania County Tourism.

Together, let’s work to provide relief and rebuild our beloved community.
