The expansion will open three new funding rounds. Round 7, which is open from August 3 through September 16, is a closed round for existing eligible applicants who were waitlisted in previous rounds. These applicants do not need to reapply. An additional round for nonprofit cultural institutions starts on August 27. And new applicants can apply starting September 9 (stay tuned!). https://business.ca.gov/office-of-the-small-business-advocate-announces-new-funding-rounds-for-the-california-small-business-covid-19-relief-grant-program/
