<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The COVID-19 pandemic and necessary restrictions on travel have had devastating impacts on Oregon's tourism economy and the communities that have grown to rely on tourism and travel to support
local jobs and businesses. Additionally, the momentum of the movement against racial injustice, and the recent wildfires have exposed more vulnerabilities (and need for further improvements) in Oregon$B!G(Bs tourism economy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Millions in grant funding is available for small businesses facing lost revenue in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Business Oregon awarded the final round of its Emergency Business Assistance
Grant funding to intermediary organizations across Oregon to in turn provide grants directly to eligible small businesses. The fund was created by Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon legislature, funded with both federal CAREs Act funds and state funds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Businesses are eligible to receive up to $50,000 in funding as detailed in the application.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Eligibility requirements have been expanded to allow for more business to get funding than in previous rounds. Businesses that have received less than $100,000 in small business assistance
through the CARES Act (such as PPP, EIDL, EIDLA, City of Portland Small Relief Program, the Oregon Cares Fund for Black Relief + Resiliency and other programs) are now eligible. Additionally, even if a business was not prohibited from operations by the Governor$B!G(Bs
Executive Order 20-12, the business could be eligible if it can demonstrate a 25% reduction in sales (reduced from 50% previously required) over a 30-day period in 2020 compared to a comparable period in 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Also, any business that has already received a grant from this program is eligible for an additional award and should complete the supplemental application. This is a shorter application with
less documentation needed. Businesses can expect to receive an award comparable to their prior award.
