  • The business must have a physical address in the DDA district.
  • Must have been in operation before April 1, 2020.
  • Must be a for-profit business.
  • Business must involve face-to-face interaction (e.g. restaurant, hair salon, etc.
This initiative will raise funds online while being matched by the generous support of the Lake Trust Credit Union (up to $750) until May 15 or until funds are depleted.  Lake Trust will also be awarding five $1,000 grants to campaigns that best embody the Spirit of Brighton and the Lake Trust Credit Union 4 Ideas to Live By. Those ideas are:
