The Small Business Support Grant Program is designed to identify a grant administrator to provide small businesses and nonprofits with grants to assist in recovering from economic losses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. These pandemic-related harms may vary between the two types of organizations. For both small businesses and non-profits, eligible harms may include revenue loss (e.g., due to supply chain issues). For non-profits, negative economic harms may include increased costs (e.g., higher costs in materials or increase in demand for their services) for organizations serving populations considered impacted by the pandemic (e.g., low-income communities). Beneficiary awards to small businesses and nonprofits will vary in amount and will be based on organization size and economic injury. Award dollars must be used for necessary cost needs resulting from COVID-19-related negative economic harms. Grants may not be used for any other expenses or for expenditures that will be reimbursed through another federal program, or reimbursement to other parties for goods or services previously donated. Approximately 2,000 grants are anticipated; the exact volume will depend on the applicant pool and final volume of funds available. The total amount available for this program is $21.5 million, which is inclusive of funding for grants and a cap of 10% for direct costs associated with the administration of the program, including provision for an information help desk that can provide application assistance to applicants.
