Hagerty Launches Restore the Roar Grant Program

May 4 is Deadline to Apply

Hagerty has launched a grant program to help automotive-enthusiast businesses recover from the COVID-19 economic slow-down.

Hagerty has announced the launch of its “Restore the Roar” grant initiative to help jump start U.S.-based enthusiast vehicle-restoration shops, specialty parts manufacturers and other related businesses that are negatively impacted by the COVID-19 economic decline. Applications are available online and due by noon EST May 4. Grants will range from $5,000–$10,000 and be awarded in mid-May.

What are examples of businesses within the “enthusiast vehicle industry” that meet Hagerty’s definition of a small business? Examples of qualifying businesses include (but are not limited to) restoration shops, specialty parts manufactures, service providers. Basically, if the business exists to help people get enjoyment out of the fun vehicle in their garage then they are encouraged to apply for this grant.

The requirements to be considered for a Hagerty “Restore the Roar” small-business grant are as follows:

• Be independently owned and operated.
• Have fewer than 20 employees.
• Have annual revenue less than $5 million.
• Be 50-percent focused on the collectible and enthusiast-vehicle industry.
