Economic Injury Disaster Loan application

Some of you may wish to take advantage of these loan funds – they seem to essentially be a grant–with some strings attached.  It appears that small business owners and non-profit organizations are welcome to apply. If you fall into any of these categories, I encourage you to look into the program: 

  • Applicant is a business with not more than 500 employees.
  • Applicant is an individual who operates under a sole proprietorship, with or without employees, or as an independent contractor.
  • Applicant is a cooperative with not more than 500 employees.
