Dear IFEA Friends,   For those of you considering a Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has further updated their FAQ document, adding new information and some further clarifications, while still leaving a lot open to interpretation, as they work toward a final set of rules and a formal application. While the new verbiage seems to be more inclusive of festivals, rather than serve as their interpreter, we are providing a link below to the newly updated FAQ document. It is important to note, again, that an organization/entity cannot apply for both a SVOG and a Paycheck Protection Program loan (PPP) at the same time. You may want to reach out to your Regional SBA Offices for further clarifications and guidance.

We will continue to keep you updated as we have more information on final clarifications and application forms/instructions.
