The Southern Opportunity and Resilience (SOAR) Fund
The Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated an already uneven recovery coming out of the Great Recession. Southern states had slower economic growth, lower labor force participation, and higher unemployment than the rest of the country, partially driven by the historic lack of corporate, bank, and philanthropic investment in the region.
The SOAR Fund tackles these issues head-on by providing capital to southern small businesses and nonprofits that need it now.
Nonprofits and small business owners with fewer than 50 full-time employees can apply now for very low-interest loans of up to $100,000 and free business support.

Broward County Achieves Vaccination Milestone
- More than 50% of residents age 16+ have received at least one dose -
BROWARD COUNTY, FL – More than half of Broward County’s population eligible for receiving the COVID-19 vaccine (age 16+) is on the path to returning to normal. Since beginning vaccinations on January 3, 2021, Broward County has gone from supporting two public vaccination sites to 10 in a continued effort to make vaccines more geographically accessible to all communities.
Broward County has been able to successfully administer at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine to 829,000 people and has completed the series for 575,000 people. This means that Broward has achieved an adult vaccination rate for at least one shot of approximately 53%.

Here are some materials that may be helpful:
