Millbrae And San Mateo County Strong Fund

Press release from the City of Millbrae:

March 27, 2020

The City of Millbrae is working with San Mateo County in developing the San Mateo County Strong Fund.

Through San Mateo County Strong, local residents can make tax-deductible donations and help local small businesses avoid layoffs and stay open, or reopen once feasible.

The San Mateo County Economic Development Authority has created a survey to assist in the business recovery efforts.

To help in this, we are asking all small business owners to take a survey to better understand how the COVID-19 outbreak has impacted their business.

If you are a small business owner, we want to hear what you need.

To take the survey, please visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BXH6H86.

This survey is specifically geared towards shaping the small business grant-funding process that is being developed, and assessing the amount needed to be fundraised for the SMC Strong Fund.

Your answers are critical in designing the grant process and program.

Please take the time to complete the survey and help us to better support you during this time.

We appreciate your response to the survey.

If you’re not a small business owner, but want to help local small businesses in need, consider donating to the San Mateo County Strong Fund by visiting www.smcstrong.org.

All money donated will stay inside San Mateo County and not one penny will go elsewhere, so you can have confidence that you are helping your community and neighbors.
