>
> Across the U.S., small businesses that form the economic backbone of their
> communities now face immediate – and oftentimes, crushing – financial
> pressure due to COVID-19. Many forced to shut down temporarily are at
> serious risk of never reopening. Even those that can still operate remotely
> face major revenue shortfalls. With little or no reserves to pay their
> expenses, many will have no choice but to lay off workers and close their
> doors forever.
>
> Thanks to a $1 million grant from Sam’s Club, LISC will provide the
> emergency assistance that small businesses desperately need to stay afloat.
> We will deploy grants to help them bridge the financial gap, and deliver
> technical assistance to help them navigate the intricate web of public and
> private resources now available. LISC will focus these efforts on
> historically underserved communities—especially those enterprises owned or
> led by women, minorities and veterans, which often lack access to
> affordable capital.
>
>
> *What are we offering?*
>
> *Grants of up to $10,000 each* to small business owners to help meet
> their most immediate needs. Eligible expenses include:
>
>    - Paying rent and utilities
>    - Meeting payroll
>    - Paying outstanding debt to vendors
>    - Upgrading technology infrastructure
>    - Other immediate operational costs
>
>
> *Who is eligible?*
>
> We will support small businesses and enterprises affected the Covid-19
> across the country, especially those in underserved communities, including
> entrepreneurs of color, women- and veteran-owned businesses that often lack
> access to flexible, affordable capital.
>
> Applications will be reviewed based on criteria designed to prioritize
> particularly challenged businesses, and the final grantees will be randomly
> selected from the top scoring applicants.
>
> If you are a nonprofit organization, we have compiled a guide of
> resources available nationally and locally.
