2025 Small Business Grant Recipient – What She’s Up to Now!
The Alamance Chamber’s Small Business Grant Program returns for its fourth cycle, with applications opening May 1—and its impact is already visible across our community. Last year’s recipient, Mariam Rosales, founder of Bellas Homes, LLC, used a $5,000 Launch Grant to purchase a much-needed work van, replacing an unreliable borrowed 1995 pickup truck. With dependable transportation, Mariam can now move equipment efficiently, take on larger projects, and manage multiple job sites at once. The new van not only strengthens her operations but also serves as a mobile advertisement for her growing business, proudly displaying the Bellas Homes brand throughout the county.
For Mariam, the investment has elevated both her capacity and her professional image—demonstrating exactly how this grant program helps small businesses thrive.
Congratulations, Mariam!
