The Houston East End Chamber is hosting this webinar to provide an overview of the grant program, eligibility guidelines and more information about how to apply for the new Harris County Small Business Relief Fund administered by LiftFund.

Eligible small business owners may apply for financial support in the form of grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to advance their recovery from the economic setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business owners are encouraged to visit www.harriscountybusinessrelief.org to learn more about the eligibility guidelines and documents needed to complete the application and begin gathering the proper documentation. This fund is not first-come, first-served program; all completed applications will be reviewed for eligibility and prioritized based on small business impact parameters.

The application period will last two weeks, and eligible small business owners within Harris County (inside or outside the City of Houston) can apply at www.harriscountybusinessrelief.org, until Monday, October 4.

To qualify for the Small Business Relief Fund, micro and small business applicants must:

? Be located within Harris County

? Be a registered business doing commerce in Harris County

? Have 30 or fewer employees (including part time, contractors and full-time employees and owners)

? Operate a company that opened before April 2020

? Have experienced negative impact on operations due to the pandemic

? Have generated annual revenue of less than $500,000 dollars in 2019 and 2020

? Be in good standing Texas Comptroller?s office with no outstanding tax obligations or liabilities
