NJEDA Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant *Phase 4*

Phase 4 of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Program will provide grants up to $20,000 to small- and medium- sized businesses and non-profits that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interested business owners will need to pre-register at programs.njeda.com between Monday, April 19, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. and Thursday, April 29, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Pre-registration is not first come, first served, but businesses are encouraged to begin the process as early as possible.

In order to receive a Phase 4 grant, businesses must be properly registered with the State of New Jersey. To help business owners ensure they are properly registered, the NJEDA is hosting two Phase 4 Document Preparation Sessions with the NJ Department of Treasury. Next session will be Monday, April 19, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. These sessions will cover what it means to be “properly registered” with the State, how business owners can check their registration status, and what to do if a business is not properly registered. Both sessions can be accessed through zoom. When asked to enter a password, type: GRANT.
