5 Grants to Help Small Businesses Impacted by COVID-19

We’ve definitely spoken a lot about COVID-19 over the last year and a half. And it’s imperative to talk about. Between lockdowns, outbreaks, school shutdowns, and distance learning. Between layoffs of workers and small businesses struggling to stay open. So many people have been impacted along with many families. And for the small business, many of which employ workers of their own, this pandemic has been extra hard. Some have had to pivot, find a way to set up shop online. Restaurants had to figure out curbside pickup and increased delivery options. Many have had to shut down altogether. It’s been hard to watch. But we’ve also covered some of the programs that states have set up to try and mitigate this, which is also important.

Today, though, I want to share some of the grants we have listed to help small businesses with our subscribers. So I’ve chosen five grants from our small-business category, which I will tell you a bit about below.

Small Businesses Need Help: Here are 5 Grants to Apply For:
