The Small Business Grant Program will provide grants of up to $10,000 each to qualifying establishments to offset losses in revenue and past debt due to the COVID-19 pandemic state shutdown orders beginning in March 2020, ensure continued operation, and assist in covering current business operating expenses.
What Can Small Business Owners Use the Grant Funding to Pay for?
The funding must be used to ensure continued operation or assist in covering current business operating expenses, including, for example: current or past rent, payroll and other ongoing obligations.
How Much Grant Funding will be Awarded to Eligible Applicants?
Up to $10,000 each to qualifying business. However, an applicant will not receive a grant that exceeds the amount that is the documented COVID impact to the applicant’s business.
