Thank You Maura Shenker and Temple SBDC!

Thank you, Ms. Shenker, for explaining the programs so thoroughly! We had over 100 business owners and members register for the event. As of Thursday both SBA programs are no longer accepting new applications. We are grateful to have partnered with Temple SBDC, and plan to offer more town halls in the future. We also encourage our members to reach out and get answers during their daily zoom one-on-one consultations.

The
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, with founding partner Vistaprint, has launched the
Save Small Business Fund, a grant program to provide assistance to small business owners impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Funded by contributions from corporate and philanthropic partners, the Foundation will distribute $5,000 grants to small employers in economically vulnerable communities in the United States and its territories. To see if your business location qualifies, visit the fund's webpage. Areas included in the criteria include Bridgeport and Norristown.
Grant applications open on April 20, 2020. To qualify, applicants must employ between three and 20 people, be located in an economically vulnerable community, and have been harmed financially by the COVID-19 pandemic. Grants will be awarded weekly on a rapid and rolling basis until all funds have been disbursed. The application will take about 10 minutes to complete and will only require your business's W-9 form and basic supporting information about your business.
To learn more about the Save Small Business Fund or apply for a grant, visit
