GoFundMe, partners offer micro-grants via new Small Business Relief Fund
The GoFundMe.org Small Business Relief Fund will provide micro-grants to qualifying small businesses negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Small Business Relief Fund is part of the Small Business Relief Initiative: a program supported by GoFundMe and the organization’s partners. The Small Business Relief Initiative will supply financial assistance and support to businesses across the country by providing grants, tools, and resources to help during the crisis.
The GoFundMe community and the Small Business Relief Initiative partners have donated millions of dollars to the GoFundMe.org Small Business Relief Fund. Individuals can share the fundraiser and donate to help support small businesses. Until that Fund is depleted, GoFundMe.org will continue issuing $500 matching grants to qualifying businesses.
To qualify for a matching grant from the Small Business Relief Fund, the GoFundMe fundraiser must raise at least $500 and verify that their small business has been negatively impacted by a government mandate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Small businesses must be independently owned and operated. Each recipient of the matching grant must intend on using the funds to help care for employees or pay ongoing business expenses.
