Cathedral City has launched the IGNITE Program, a new economic development initiative aimed at supporting small business owners through networking, workshops, and resource-sharing.

The program targets new and growing businesses seeking assistance with funding, expansion, and overcoming financial challenges. IGNITE brings together multiple organizations to provide free resources to local entrepreneurs.

The program's first event will be held on Thursday, August 21, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at Cathedral City Hall. The session will focus on funding strategies, including securing capital, preparing for business debt, and understanding current lending options.

IGNITE operates in partnership with the Riverside County Office of Economic Development and is funded through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Business owners can register for the August 21 event
