I’m so sorry for the losses you have experienced during 2020 and the tremendous stresses of recent weeks. While better days are ahead, we appreciate that it’s still going to take great courage and tremendous effort to regroup and recover. Fortunately, we are not alone. Along with everyone in your organization, NAMC members, partners and allies have all exhibited tremendous creativity, tenacity, and generosity in the face of it all.

The Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act), passed in late December, includes more than $284 billion for another round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. The PPP 2.0 loan application process opened on January 11 and runs through March 31, 2021.
Similar to the PPP in 2020, PPP 2.0 will require you to work through a lending partner (bank or financial institution) approved by the Small Business Administration, and loans are forgivable if borrowers meet the requirements. There are new provisions and requirements in PPP 2.0.
