Want the SBA to Increase Targeted EIDL Grant Eligibility?

eidl grant Apr 26, 2021

On Friday, April 24 the SBA announced details for the additional $5K EIDL Grants. This new program will allow 1 million businesses to get an additional $5,000 if they qualify for a Targeted EIDL Advance and meet revenue decline requirements.

But there's a major problem.

Hundreds of thousands of businesses otherwise deserving of the funding DO NOT qualify based on their business address because of the "low-income" provision.

This "low-income" provision only allows businesses in a low-income area based on past census data to qualify for the full $10K or the extra $5K grants. Many of these businesses are across the street from a low-income area and need the support just as much — if not more — than other struggling small businesses.
