The City of Frederick has opened application for a second round of the "Back In Business Conditional Microgrant Program" with expanded eligibility in order to assist additional local small businesses impacted by the economic challenges of COVID-19.
Expanded criteria for Round Two eligibility includes:
Employee count may be up to 50 FTEs (full time equivalent); Maximum award will increase from $6,000 to $11,000
Applicant must be able to show a decrease in July 2020 revenue as compared to July 2019. This is a removal of the Round One requirement to demonstrate 25% loss of revenue for this period.
Applicants may now have received local grants previously via other City/County grants; applicants will have to adhere to guidelines regarding allowable expenditures for which the grant award may be applied.
The 'Round Two' application window will remain open noon on Friday, October 16, 2020.
