Business Interruption Grants Webinar

Of the total funding, $70 million will be invested in Disproportionately Impacted Areas (DIAs) and $60 million in heavily impacted industries.  A map of the DIAs and the eligibility guidelines can be found on our website.  The heavily impacted industries are defined as having annual revenues of $10 million or less and have been close or operating at a very diminished capacity since mid-March and are likely to continue to do so until Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois Plan.   These industries include the following:
 
·       Event spaces                 
·       Music venues
·       Performing arts venues
·       Indoor recreation
·       Amusement parks
·       Movie theaters
·       Museums
·       Charter/shuttle buses
Applications for a second round of funding are now being accepted and can be found here. A total of $220 million will be made available for small businesses of all types in Illinois.  Grants will be awarded and funded on a rolling basis until funding is depleted.  The grant size will be equivalent to two months of expenses.
