NY Grant: Change in requirements
may make you eligible (New)

An update has been made to the NY State COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program that you need to know about! There’s still funding available for grants up to $50,000, so read on to learn more.

Did you decide not to apply because the program required you to demonstrate positive net profit on your 2019 Business Tax Return? That requirement has been lifted, so you may now be eligible.

New Applicants: Click here to apply! 

Visit https://nysmallbusinessrecovery.com/ and scroll to the Application Guide section for a step-by-step guide to filling in the application, available in 14 languages.

Existing Applicants:
If you have already applied to this program and been denied due to this requirement, you don’t need to do anything! Lendistry will reach out to you directly by email if your eligibility has changed. Do not fill out a new application.

For language assistance, guidance on eligibility requirements or any additional questions, please contact the program's call center at 1-877-721-0097 or visit www.nysmallbusinessrecovery.com.
