The $500 million California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program's new website is live! Applications for Round 1 will open on Wednesday, December 30th, 2020, and close end of day on Friday, January 8th, 2021. Round 2 will be announced in the near future. The program supports small businesses and nonprofits impacted by COVID-19 and the health and safety restrictions.
The State of California and CalOSBA are committed to ensuring small businesses have access to the support, resources and capital they need - and this support is fundamental to California's COVID-19 response.
The new website CAReliefGrant.com was launched so that you can review information on eligibility, prepare your business documents and get ready to apply!
Eligible small businesses and nonprofits may apply during these times, directly, at CAReliefGrant.com, or with assistance from a partner.
One of the state's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), Lendistry, is supporting the state to distribute these grants and partnering with other CDFIs and small business centers to assist you with your application.
