We're happy to let you know that the Rebuild VA grant program has expanded its eligibility criteria to allow more small businesses to apply!
Small supply chain partners of businesses that closed due to Executive Order 53 or 55 as well as businesses that received CARES Act funding are now eligible to receive a $10,000 Rebuild VA grant. Businesses that have received CARES Act funding must certify that they will only use the Rebuild VA grant for recurring expenses and that the grant will not be used to cover the same expenses as the other CARES Act funds.
