Event Description:
The state of New York has launched a $800 million grant program to help small businesses and microenterprises that have experienced economic hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tompkins Chamber have partnered with Chamber Alliance of New York State (CANYS) and Ithaca Area Economic Development (IAED) to co-host our next L.E.A.R.N webinar on the New York State COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program.
During the webinar, our presenter Matthew Kennedy, Economic Development Program Specialist with Empire State Development, will explain the eligibility and documentation requirements of this program and answer your questions about the opportunity to apply.
What Is It:
The NYS COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program was created to provide flexible grant assistance to currently viable small businesses, microbusinesses and for-profit independent arts and cultural organizations who have experienced economic hardship due the COVID-19 pandemic.
Who Is Eligible:
Small businesses, Micro-businesses and For-profit independent arts and cultural organizations must be currently viable and have begun operation on or before March 1, 2019, and continue to be in operation as of the date of application (may be shuttered due to COVID restrictions).
Economically and socially disadvantaged business owners, and those located in distressed communities, are strongly encouraged to attend and apply.
The format of the webinar will be a 40 minute presentation of information followed by a 20 minute Q&A.
