Running a business on Welton Street takes more than a great idea. It takes visibility, foot traffic, safe and welcoming streets, access to funding, and a network that has your back.
From grants and sustainability funding to security support, street activations, and City programs, the BID works corridor-wide to create the conditions businesses need to operate, grow, and stay rooted.
Funded by the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade (OEDIT), this program provides $10,000–$50,000 grants to groups of 2–6 geographically proximate, culturally significant businesses facing displacement pressures. The Five Points BID supports collaboration and coordination for eligible business groups.
Administered by Certifiably Green Denver, with support from the City and County of Denver, this program offers up to $10,000 in upfront grant funding to help small, minority- and women-owned businesses complete sustainability projects. Open to SBA-qualified businesses with a physical Denver location.
Provided by the City and County of Denver, this program offers $2,500 per permitted event to help public events transition from disposable to reusable cups. Funding covers cups, collection bins, logistics, and sanitizing through an approved reuse service provider. Available on a first-come, first-served basis.
In partnership with Overwatch Technologies, Five Points BID businesses receive 25% off actively monitored security camera services as part of the district’s safety support efforts.
Operated by the City and County of Denver’s Denver Partners Against Graffiti, this service provides free graffiti removal for business and residential properties citywide.
