CA SMALL BUSINESS COVID-19 RELIEF GRANT PROGRAM

The last and final round (Round 6) of the California Relief Grant will open tomorrow for all eligible small businesses operating in California. At this time, there are no other additional rounds planned, so do not miss your last opportunity to submit a completed application!

Round 6

Important Dates for Round 6

Application Closes: May 4, 2021 at 5:00 pm

Start of Selection Notifications: May 7, 2021

Important Application Information

Visit https://careliefgrant.com/ for more information.

Waitlisted applicants from Rounds 1, 2, 3 and 5 do NOT need to reapply. Please sign into the Portal to check for status of your application.

Eligible nonprofit organizations from Round 4 (The Arts & Cultural Program) will be required to submit a NEW application in Round 6 if they are interested in being considered. No grants will be awarded if such entity has otherwise been awarded a grant.

If you started an application in a previous round and it is incomplete, you can log into your partner’s Portal to finish. Doing this as early as possible increases your chances of being selected but does not guarantee you will be selected.

If you submitted an incorrect application based on your business type, you will need to submit a NEW application in Round 6.
