California Small Business Relief Grants

Small Business and Non Profit

 

As part of California's Covid Relief Budget package, the state is providing additional funding rounds for the Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program. If your business or nonprofit was affected by the covid-19 pandemic, you may be eligible for up to a $25,000 grant. You can apply from Thursday, September 9 through Thursday, September 30. Current waitlisted applicants from certain previous rounds will be automatically moved to this round. 

For more information on grant requirements and eligibility visit the CA Relief Grant website (https://careliefgrant.com).
