Dear IFEA Friends,   For those of you who have not yet applied for a first or second round draw of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), and are intending to do so, the SBA has taken new steps to establish a 14-day, exclusive PPP loan application period for businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees, which includes a large percentage of those in the festivals and events industry. We are sharing that new information and the related links with you below.

We will continue to keep you updated as we have more information on this or the new Shuttered Venue Operators Grants (SVOG), which is still awaiting final clarifications and application forms/instructions. The most current SVOG FAQ’s for that program may be found here.
