Earlier this afternoon, the U.S. Chamber unveiled its Save Small Business Initiative to
address the immediate needs of the small business community, mitigate
closures and job losses, and mobilize support for long-term recovery
in the wake of the economic destruction of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to a call to action for the larger business
community and government to help small businesses, the four-part
campaign includes supplemental financial assistance,
advocacy, resources, webinars and guides, and
research.
The U.S. Chamber Foundation is supporting the
supplemental financial assistance by launching their Save Small Business Fund. Funded by
contributions from corporate and philanthropic partners, the U.S.
Chamber Foundation will be providing $5,000 supplemental grants to
small employers in economically vulnerable communities.
Applications for the Save Small Business Grant Fund
will open this Monday, April 20, 2020, at 3:00 p.m. ET. There
are several eligibility requirements which can be found here. We encourage you to
share this information with your members so they can apply for a
supplemental grant if they are eligible. Chambers of Commerce may
also apply if they meet the eligibility requirements

Fund including qualifications, the application process and FAQs,
