COVID-19 Resources For Entrepreneurs in Underserved Communities Across New England
About this event
This is a virtual Town Hall for African American Entrepreneurs
June 30 is the deadline to apply for PPP. Let’s cross the finish line together.
$130 BILLION in PPP funding is still available!
This is a tremendous opportunity for small businesses, sole proprietors, LLCs, independent contracts, and faith-based non-profits to get the funding that they need to rebuild the community.
This event will feature elected officials, community leaders, lenders, non-profit organizations, and faith leaders who are able to help small businesses get through the crisis and thrive on the other side of it. In short, we are connecting businesses to all available resources.
The loan will convert into a grant as long as it is used appropriately.
We will share resources to rebuild our communities!
