COVID-19 Impact Fund Program
About the Program
The City of Nashua is announcing that the third round of low interest loan application under the City's COVID-19 Impact Fund Program is live. The new deadline to submit application is now 11:59 PM EST on Sunday August 15, 2021. Grants may be available as part of this program.
The City has established the COVID-19 Impact Fund Program to assist in the stabilization of existing small businesses and non-profits within the City that have had significant disruption caused by COVID-19. The awards are expected to be announced and in recipients’ hands by September 2021.
The COVID-19 Impact Fund Program must contribute to the business or non-profit’s ability to remain open, retain employees, and/or provide critical services during this public health crisis and beyond.
What is Offered?
Low interest loans with favorable repayment terms (i.e. deferred payment for up to one year) for working capital or operating costs. Loans will be up to $50,000 per entity; however, individual awards will vary on a case-by case basis.
