Hillsdale Chamber of Commerce

02/05/2026

UPDATED with Correct Email for RSVP below and in flier- Dear Hillsdale Business Owners,
We are excited to share the Bagels for Businesses event on Monday, February 23, 2026 where attendees will be joined by representatives from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) and the Bergen County Divison of Economic Development for a brief, in-person presentation on small business grant opportunities and other valuable resources currently available to you.

Time is critical. Many of these NJEDA grant programs are set to expire later this year, and once the funding window closes, these opportunities will no longer be available. This is free money and free services designed specifically to support New Jersey small businesses—and we strongly encourage you to take advantage of it.
Why attend?
• Learn about grants and resources available right now
• These grants are straightforward and easy to apply for
• No grant-writing experience is required
• An NJEDA representative will be on-site to answer questions and walk you through the process
Enjoy bagels and coffee while learning how to strengthen your business.

Please RSVP to [email protected]
