CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â The United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce has created a program to address the ongoing need for financial assistance as the community continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the support of NEC co-op energy, Buckeye Partners, and Gulf Coast Growth Ventures, the program will administer $250 grants to awardees until all funds have been used.

Must have been in business prior to March 2020.
