We are giving grants to small businesses with less than $2.5 million in gross annual receipts. Your business must also have closed or seen a 25% decline in revenue during the coronavirus outbreak. Some neighborhoods will have additional criteria.

Many businesses are facing extreme business disruption or closure due to COVID-19. OEWD’s targeted areas lie within historically marginalized communities which will prioritize mini-grant funds to provide economic relief to family-run and owner-operated businesses.
