Shuttered Venue Operators Grant Program (New)

The SBA recently published a FAQ for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant Program. The FAQ includes information about eligibility, application, use of funds, and more.
Targeted EIDL Advance

The Targeted EIDL Advance provides businesses located in low-income communities with additional funds to ensure small business continuity, adaptation, and resiliency.

Advance funds of up to $10,000 will be available to applicants located in low-income communities who previously received an EIDL Advance for less than $10,000, or those who applied but received no funds due to lack of available program funding.

Applicants may qualify if they are located in a low-income community and they can demonstrate more than 30% reduction in revenue during an 8-week period beginning on March 2, 2020, or later.

Applicants do not need to take any action at this time. SBA will reach out to those who qualify.
