Michigan Festivals & Events Associaton
March 30, 2020
Good afternoon,
Yesterday was a very busy day; we were in contact with our State and Federal officials from 8:30AM until after 6:00PM trying to find useful information for our members.
The following information is brought to you from the Michigan Chamber of Commerce.
Take a look at the link for Non-Profits seeing that most of our Festivals and Events are nonprofit.
There are many options for aid including:
MEDC grants (awarded through 12 local EDC groups) https://www.michiganbusiness.org/about-medc/covid19/small-business-relief-program/ (Deadline April 1)
CARES Act Economic Injury Disaster Loans for nonprofits- eligible nonprofits apply through SBA https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/trends-policy-issues/initial-analysis-of-the-coronavirus-aid-relief-and-economic-security-act-cares
Your Michigan Festivals & Events Team
Trying to keep you Up To Date with resources as they become available.
