The application window for the first round of the COVID-19 Relief Pennsylvania Statewide Small Business Assistance Grant Program will close at 11:59PM on Tuesday, July 14. 

If you have not started your application you should get started very soon.  The application is not difficult but requires several steps which are not instantaneous.  If you wait too long, you will not have sufficient time to answer the questions and upload the mandatory files.

Please note that bank verification is not required for this stage of the review process.

All documents required to complete the application must be uploaded to the application portal by no later than 11:59pm EST on July 16 (which is 48 hours after the closure of the grant application window).

The Progress Fund website features a link to the application, step-by-step instructions, and general information for COVID-19 Relief Pennsylvania Statewide Small Business Assistance Grant Program.
