The EDC is excited that the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program opened yesterday, December 30, 2020! Thousands of small businesses have applied and we are aware that with this large application volume, many small businesses are experiencing delays or challenges with the application portal. Lendistry is working quickly to improve theses access issues.
If you are experiencing technical difficulties or have additional specific questions about your application, please reach out to the California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program Call Center at 888.612.4370 or email careliefgrant@lendistry.com
This is NOT a first-come, first-served program and the application window will not close early. The application can be submitted for first round consideration anytime between now and January 8, 2021 at 11:59 pm. Please be patient and come back to the application portal at a later time if you continue to experience issues.
The EDC recommends you take the time to:

Please note that this is a brand new statewide program and is not connected to any previous local, county, state or federal program. This is NOT the same program as the Ventura County Business Assistance Grant Program. If you are interested in being considered for the first round of this grant program, please apply before January 8, 2021 at 11:59 pm.
