Press release from La Jolla by the Sea:

January 12 , 2021

Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, The San Diego & Imperial Small Business Development Center (SBDC), and The San Diego Foundation have once again partnered to make sure business owners and non-profit leaders can access the available resources. Starting today, businesses and nonprofits can sign-up to secure a share of $500 million in state funds here.

“It’s been a very difficult year for the business community, particularly our small businesses; that is the reason we have worked hard to provide relief and help during this difficult time. I am excited to work with the San Diego & Imperial SBDC Network and The San Diego Foundation again to deliver funding, information, and technical support for businesses and nonprofits. The $500 million in grants from the State of California and the federal government’s renewal of PPP and the roll out of grants for live venues will be vital to the recovery of San Diego County businesses in the New Year.”
-Supervisor Fletcher, Co-Chair of the County’s COVID-19 subcommittee

The deadline to apply is January 8, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. This is not a first come first serve grant. All applications will start to be reviewed following the closure of the application period. These grants are to cover business expenses and specifically for small businesses hit by the pandemic.
