Applying for a Restaurant Revitalization Fund Grant

Update: The SAM/DUNS Registration is no longer required! Read more about the change here:

This grant (you read that correctly), is available for all restaurants, regardless of when they opened. This is a monstrous departure from the PPP which originally was just allowing funds for businesses that had operated in 2019. This had been a particular pain point for businesses that were in the final stages of opening when the pandemic hit. This was one of the most acutely affected groups of businesses, as all of the grants that were available on the state level, also went off the criteria of the PPP.

This grant will be administered by the Small Business Administration directly, similarly to the EIDL as opposed to the PPP. This is a good thing, because they aren’t going to deviate from what the SBA requires (banks have been asking for some weird sh%$ this time around).
