Applications are still available for the County’s Arts-Related Small Business and Nonprofit Grant Relief Program, designed to support qualifying arts-related small businesses and nonprofits impacted by COVID-19.

Grand awards range from $5,000 to $12,000 for nonprofits based on organizational revenue and $5,000 to $20,000 for small businesses based on the number of full-time equivalent employees.

Awardees are reimbursed for eligible expenses incurred from January 1, 2021 to present. Awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis.

In an effort to help businesses recognize employees for their dedication during the pandemic, the City of Laguna Niguel and Laguna Niguel Chamber of Commerce have launched the Back-To-Business Employee Bonus Program.

As part of the program, Laguna Niguel businesses can nominate a frontline employee(s) who made a commitment to remain working or to return to work between March 22, 2020 and July 30, 2021.

Nominated employees will then be entered into a weekly raffle to win gift cards from local businesses provided by the Chamber of Commerce. Raffles are drawn every Friday during the month of July.
