Oregon Heritage COVID-19 Commiseration Call April 8, 1pm-2pm

Join Oregon Heritage for a one-hour chat. We appreciate the sacrifice your organization is making for the health of the community and the state. Let's check in with our network, hear people's approaches to the situation, and feel connected. We will have a couple of presenters share for just five minutes about what their organization is doing right now. Perhaps, what they are thinking too. Then we will field sharing - questions and ideas for the rest of the call. We hope you leave the call feeling less alone and more connected to a network you can call upon.

State of Oregon COVID-19 Business Impact Survey

Oregon Heritage encourages heritage nonprofits to participate in the following survey to make sure your impact is recorded. If there is a heritage specific impact survey circulated at some point, we will be sure to forward that as well.

Business Oregon, Travel Oregon, and Small Business Development Centers have partnered to develop this survey to understand how COVID-19 is impacting businesses across the state. Information gathered by this survey will be vital to policymakers who are working to provide assistance to businesses during this crisis. Individual responses to this survey are completely confidential and will not be shared publicly, only aggregate information will be shared.

SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. This program is for any small business with less than 500 employees (including sole proprietorships, independent contractors and self-employed persons), private non-profit organization or 501(c)(19) veterans organizations affected by coronavirus/COVID-19. Businesses in certain industries may have more than 500 employees if they meet the SBA's size standards for those industries. Small businesses in the hospitality and food industry with more than one location could also be eligible at the store and location level if the store employs less than 500 workers. This means each store location could be eligible. Deadline: June 30, 2020.
