Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and the City of Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish recognize the challenges that local businesses are facing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet the short-term financial needs of microenterprises and small businesses, the Resilient Restart EBR: Small Business Micro-grants Program offers one-time, micro-grants of $2,500 to eligible entities that have been impacted by COVID-19. Recipients may use these funds for rent, utilities, inventory, accounts payable, fixed costs, employee wages and benefits. These are grant awards and repayment by the recipient is not required.<\/p>\n
This program is activated by the CARES Act administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s Community Development Block Grant Program with an additional infusion of funding from Investar Bank. Applications for micro-grants will be reviewed and awarded on a rolling basis until all allocated funds are dispersed.\u00a0This program is being administered by the Urban League of Louisiana.<\/p>\n
Applicants should gather all required documentation prior to starting the application form.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/DsbP_6HofaI” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” parallax__hover=”off” parallax_method__hover=”on” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Livvic||||||||” text_text_color=”#1a0052″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.4em” header_text_color=”#1a0052″ background_color=”#ededed” custom_padding=”25px|25px|25px|25px” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” global_colors_info=”{}”]FAST FACTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n WHO<\/strong>: Existing Small Business and Microenterprise Owners<\/p>\n WHAT<\/strong>: One-time, micro-grants of $2,500 to eligible entities that have been impacted by COVID-19.<\/p>\n BONUS<\/strong>:\u00a0 These are grant awards and repayment by the recipient is not required.
