Dear Private Sector Members,
Greetings from your Chamber of Commerce.
We trust this email finds you well.
Please note the deadline for BLP’s Small Grant Facility (SGF) for $6000 TOP closes at the end of this month, 31st July, 2026.
The criteria is attached below for your reference. Applications are submitted online. To submit your online application, please sign up to create an account at BLP’s website: Business Link Pacific. TCCI can assist in submitting/creating your application.
BLP’s grant support is targeted to support micro and small businesses, prioritizing those led by women, youth, people with disabilities, indigenous people, and community-based businesses, especially in rural areas. Businesses should have a valid bank account, though exceptions for personal accounts used for business transactions can be made.
Proposals should meet the criteria of at least one or more of the categories: innovation, growth, inclusion, climate initiatives and access to finance. Proposals also need to demonstrate social and economic impact such as creating employment, market expansion, or environmental sustainability.
Grants are not provided for recurring operating expenses like wages, rent, debt repayment or unrelated purchases. Items like laptops might be considered, although their benefit to the business must be clearly demonstrated.
For those that have received a grant before, you are still eligible to apply again as long as deliverables from the previous grant were provided to BLP.
For any further assistance or enquiries please do not hesitate to contact our office at 25168 or 7721186 or email tongachamber@gmail.com
Malo aupito,
Tonga Chamber of Commerce & Industry
