Grant amounts will range from $7,500 to $20,000 and can be used to restock inventory, purchase PPE, make facility modifications that prevent the spread of COVID-19, or to cover the cost of the business’s mortgage/rent, utilities or payroll.
Applicants must be for-profit businesses located in Milwaukee County with 20 or fewer full-time equivalent employees and with 2019 revenues greater than $0 but less than $2 million, among other criteria.
