StonehamBank seeking 2026 Small Business Spotlight winner

In every community, there are small businesses that shine — delivering exceptional customer service, offering unique products, and generously supporting local organizations and causes. These businesses are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods and help our communities thrive.
As StonehamBank looks ahead to Small Business Week (May 3–9), the Bank is proud to announce an opportunity for local business owners to apply for its $5,000 Small Business Spotlight Grant, which also includes participation in a four-part Lunch & Learn series designed to support the evolving needs of small businesses.
“We are excited to celebrate our sixth year of spotlighting local small businesses,” said Shawn Kelley, VP/Business Development Officer. “We look forward to recognizing and supporting the entrepreneurs who make our communities stronger. We love hearing what makes each business unique and learning how the grant would help them grow if selected.”
Eligible small business owners located in Billerica, Burlington, Danvers, Lynnfield, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Middleton, North Reading, Peabody, Reading, Saugus, Stoneham, Tewksbury, Wakefield, Wilmington, Winchester, and Woburn are encouraged to apply by Thursday, April 30.
The grant recipient will be announced on May 6 and recognized at a special Multi-Chamber of Commerce Networking Event on Tuesday, May 13, hosted at StonehamBank’s 80 Montvale Avenue branch in Stoneham.
