Apply for an OMI small business mini-grant

Check that your business is in the OMI target areas on our map of business neighborhoods.

Your business must:

• Be a for-profit business
• Have been in operation full-time since at least September 16, 2019
• Have less than $2.5 million in gross annual receipts in 2018 or 2019
• Have closed or seen a 25% decline in revenue during the coronavirus outbreak
• Follow the Stay home public health order and guidance for businesses
• Have a commercial storefront

You will need to upload these documents to apply:

• Completed and signed W-9
• SF business license and registration
• Your commercial lease (if available)

If your business is essential and still open, you must show proof of a 25% decline in revenue in a 30-day period in 2020 compared to 2019 or 2018. You can prove this with bank statements, tax documents, or a report from your accounting software or point of sale system.

We will ask you about your identity, business details, and the impact of coronavirus on your business.

You should enroll in at least 2 virtual learning opportunities that support your business.

We have mini-grants available for some other neighborhoods. See available mini-grants for businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

We also have a mini-grant fund for 100% women-owned businesses in San Francisco. Women-owned businesses in these neighborhoods may only apply for one mini-grant.
