“Is it true that my non-profit can apply for a forgivable loan through the CARES Act? How much money can we get, and what documentation do we need?”
“If our employees become sick, what are my non-profit’s obligations, according to federal law?”
“What if my non-profit is all-volunteer — can we still get help through the CARES Act?”
“How can I apply for a COVID-19 Rapid Response Grant from the Community Foundation?”
If any of those questions sound familiar, or if you are seeking help with your CARES Act application, the Outer Banks Community Foundation invites you to join us on Wednesday, April 15 at 2:00 pm for an informative webinar on the CARES Act, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the Community Foundation’s COVID-19 Rapid Response Grants, and more.
It’s a scary time for nonprofits, and we want to help you identify potential sources of support to sustain your organization through the COVID crisis and beyond.
But this webinar is not just about information!
If you need help with your CARES Act application, the Community Foundation has recruited a team of volunteers who can help your nonprofit determine if a Paycheck Protection Program Loan is right for you. Our volunteers can help you calculate how much you can and should request, and help you identify and produce the documents you’ll need for a successful application.
Our presentation will kick off with David Heinen, Vice President for Public Policy and Advocacy for the NC Center for Nonprofits, who will provide an overview of federal and state policies that can help nonprofits survive the COVID-19 crisis, including the CARES Act and the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
Then John Loyack, Vice President of Global Business Services for the Economic Development Partnership of NC, will dig into the details of two significant programs in the CARES Act: the Paycheck Protection Program, which offers forgivable loans to small nonprofits and other businesses, and the Economic Injury Disaster Loans. He’ll walk you through the application process, help you understand the documentation you’ll need to apply, and give you essential tips for a successful application.
Finally, Lorelei Costa, Executive Director of the Outer Banks Community Foundation, will tell you about our COVID-19 Rapid Response Grant Program, and offer other survival tips from the nonprofit trenches.
We’ll also have plenty of time for Q&A at the end of the webinar.
And after the webinar, we’ll help connect you with volunteers to help you with your next steps in your CARES Act application.
This webinar is free for any staff or board member of an Outer Banks nonprofit! But space limited, so you must register in advance.
