more in grant funding for Business Oregon to deliver into the hands of small businesses across Oregon. On Monday, November 9<sup>th</sup>, the Emergency Board of the Oregon Legislature approved $20 million more to Business Oregon’s Emergency Business Assistance
Grant Fund. This funding and program are separate from the $55 million in funds the Governor also announced this week.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

were allocated from Business Oregon to intermediary lenders such as cities, counties, Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), and Economic Development Districts (EDDs), who in turn granted the money to individual businesses. With this new round,
Business Oregon is able to fund businesses directly. The grants are available to small businesses that have seen lost revenue due to the pandemic, and that meet a minimal set of requirements.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Chris Cummings. “These grants can help our small business owners today, but to get back to business in the long haul we’ve got to do what it takes now to stop the spread of this virus.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

with up to 100 employees can apply, whereas previous funding was limited to those with up to 25 employees, to ensure smaller businesses could access the funds first.
