- Subcontractors and/or 1099 employees should not be included in the employee count.
- Eligible applicants may not be a publicly traded company.
- Non-profit organizations may not apply. 501(c)(3) organizations are not eligible for this program due to the scope of the federal CARES Act as it relates to providing small business assistance. Also, per the CARES Act, as other 501(c) organizations are involved in lobbying activities and/or are supported primarily by member dues, rather than by sales of products or services, they are not eligible for funding through this program because the funding is sourced from the federal government.
To apply when the application window is open, complete the application form. The online application is not available prior to
10am on Thursday, July 16th, 2020
