IT Kickstart

IT Kickstart is a reimbursement grant program that encourages small and medium-sized companies in Pennsylvania to implement IT projects.

With the assistance of various resource partners, past projects include designing and implementing informational Web sites, e-commerce applications, simple server upgrades, customized database creation, and more. Upon submitting a grant application and vendor quote for the IT project, Ron May, eBizITPA’s Director of IT Programs, will assist with the next steps of the process.

Is My Business Eligible?

Businesses involved in the IT Kickstart program vary widely. Businesses are chosen to receive a grant based on their ability to identify significant benefits to be achieved through the project. Benefits include the number of jobs created or retained, as well as the measurable increase in competitiveness, efficiency and productivity that the investment in information technology can bring.
