Are you a California nonprofit that employed 26-49 staff (at any one time) during either 2021 or 2022? Applications are only being accepted through June 30.
Did you pay COVID sick pay? If you can answer yes to those two questions, you are probably eligible to receive a $10,000-$50,000 grant from the State of California.
CalNonprofits will host an informational webinar being held this month designed to help potential grantees better understand how to apply to the California Small Business and Nonprofit COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave Relief Grant Program (SPSL), a program of the California Office of the Small Business Advocate.
We are excited to be partnering with Lendistry and CalOSBA to help get the word out and assist applicants in accessing this critical initiative, which offers much-needed financial aid to eligible nonprofits and small businesses for costs incurred by providing Supplemental Paid Sick Leave (SPSL) to their employees during the pandemic. CalNonprofits advocated mightily for the passage of AB 152, the legislation that led to the creation of this program, and we’ve been working diligently to assure the process is inclusive and supportive of nonprofit organizations.
You can learn more and begin the application process here, explore the full webinar calendar here or register for our nonprofit-specific webinar below. We also created this FAQ specifically addressing those questions that could be unclear or confusing for nonprofit applicants.
