Round 2 is open for new applicants to the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program. Grants of $5,000 to $25,000 are available, based on eligibility and business revenue. The application period runs Feb. 2 to Feb. 8, 2021.

SBA will soon be posting the application and guidelines for the Shuttered Venue Grant.

The SBDC has heard that the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program website is overwhelmed. They would like to remind everyone that this program is NOT "first come, first serve." All applications received between now and the closing date of Jan. 8, 2021 will be reviewed.
