California recently began a $500 million grant program for eligible small business owners and nonprofits who have been impacted by COVID-19 and the health and safety restrictions. Grants up to $25,000 will be given to eligible small businesses and nonprofits to help cover expenses during the pandemic.  The Acorn Project, a project of Indian Dispute Resolution Services, Inc., is working to get the word out to Indian Country and assist people who need help to apply for the grant.

If you are ready to apply now, you can visit the application at cameo.mylendistry.com.  The closing date for Round 1 is January 13th, 2021 at 11:59 pm.  You can find more information about the grant at www.CAReliefGrant.com.
