Eligible businesses will receive a grant covering up to 40% of their payroll for two months. Businesses can access up to $27,000.

The NYC Employee Retention Grant Program will officially stop accepting applications on Friday, April 3, 2020, at 5 p.m. Please visit nyc.gov/covid19biz to apply and for more information about this program.

Businesses, including non-profits, must:
· Be located within the five boroughs of New York City
· Demonstrate that the COVID-19 outbreak caused at least a 25% decrease in revenue
· Employ 1-4 employees in total across all locations
