Chamber awards Investor Grant to Black Swamp Players

From BOWLING GREEN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce has awarded its Investor Grant for the first quarter of 2021 to the Black Swamp Players.

Heath Diehl, Board President of the Black Swamp Players, applied for the Investor Grant in order to support funding for a web development internship position. This was a much-needed position for the organization due to their primary means of connecting with members, donors, and volunteers through their website and social media. They would like to create a website that is more aesthetically appealing to visitors and clearly conveys their mission and vision to the community. This internship position will help streamline and create a clear approach to collecting donations. 

Heath Diehl stated: “Helping us tell our story; our vision, mission, and work within the community in a clearer, more unified, and more accessible form to a significantly wider audience.” Diehl felt that this web development internship will directly impact the organizational growth in terms of donors, volunteers, and shine a light on the Black Swamp Players in a positive manner. 

The Black Swamp Players will be advertising this internship position to students at Bowling Green State University and Owens Community College in the near future.

The Quarterly Investor Grants are available to all Investors in good standing at the Chamber, and the application is available online for easy submission.  The Quarterly Investor Grant provides a Chamber Investor up to $1,000 that is earmarked for employee training programs, towards the purchase of business-related equipment, or applied towards the off-set of a BGSU/Owens student internship. The deadline for the 2nd Quarter Grant submission is June 30th, 2021.
