California's COVID-19 Small Business Relief Grant Program has opened new rounds, one of which is specifically designed to support nonprofit cultural institutions of any size, with amounts ranging from $$5,000 to $$25,000.
Everett Sands, the program's administrator and CEO of Lendistry, the entity designated as the intermediary to deliver the support, invited both for-profit and non-profit organizations to participate in these new rounds, which will be accepting applications until September 30.
During a session held by Ethnic Media Services, Everett Sands highlighted that the California grant program is focused on helping communities traditionally underserved by banks and with different projects, such as offering services in different languages.
This year, aid has been provided to half a million companies in different industries, with the majority of the aid going to low- and moderate-income communities that have suffered the ravages of the pandemic, but also to businesses led by women, veterans, African Americans, Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans, as well as non-profit organizations.
