A community is defined as the city/town/village where your business address is located. If the business is mobile (a food truck, fishing boat, rideshare driver, etc) please use the address where your vehicle is stored during non-business hours.”
All potential applicants are encouraged to review this FAQ and grant information before applying.
Non-profit organizations are ineligible for the relief funding program at this time but may be eligible for later rounds of funding.
