Changes to Philadelphia COVID-19 Small Business Relief Fund Program
The Philadelphia COVID-19 Small Business Program offers grants or zero-interest loans to Philadelphia small businesses impacted by COVID-19. The program, administered by the Department of Commerce and PIDC, aims to provide relief to selected small businesses in order to help them survive this crisis and retain as many employees as possible. Due to extraordinary demand and limited resources, read here for changes to this program that go into effect on March 30 at 5 p.m.
- The application for micro-enterprise grants is available in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
You can find the application here.
