This is an ongoing issue but here are a few leads I've seen this week for aid from different organizations...
Facebook Small Business Grants- Facebook is offering $100M in cash grants and add credits. They have not fully released the information but here is a link and you can sign up for updates to find out how Facebook will assist small businesses. https://www.facebook.com/business/boost/grants
American Farmland Trust Farmer Relief Fund- is offering grants to assist at this time to producers who have been impacted. AFT’s Farmer Relief Fund will award farmers with cash grants of up to $1,000 each to help them weather the current storm of market disruptions caused by the Coronavirus crisis.
Initially, eligible applicants include any small and mid-size direct-market producers. These are defined as producers with annual gross revenue of between $10,000 and $1 million from sales at farmers markets and/or direct sales to restaurants, caterers, schools, stores, or makers who use farm products as inputs.
The application (linked to below in both English and Spanish) is simple and easy to complete but includes sufficient detail to ensure AFT is awarding producers that have the greatest needs. Applicants will be asked to estimate their financial loss.
AFT envisions an initial application round extending until April 23, with grants beginning to be made by May 1. To apply click on this link https://farmland.org/farmer-relief-fund/
