Today, many Atlanta small business communities need help adapting to COVID-19 to rise up, recover and thrive once again. Through the Resurgence Grant Fund, eligible businesses may be awarded grants of up to $40,000, plus a credit of up to $10,000 of additional technical assistance, to reimburse costs associated with adapting business operations in a post-COVID environment. Through this new program, Invest Atlanta seeks to lessen the negative financial impact to businesses and cover costs associated with operating safely during the pandemic.
Applications will be reviewed by an independent committee at the end of the application period. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed and will not be given consideration. An incomplete application is considered to be one that has not uploaded all requested documents or answered all required questions.
A Spanish translation of the Grant FAQs are available here.
Resurgence applicants will have the opportunity to select technical assistance services (such as Marketing, Technology, Accounting, Finance, and other Business Services) from Invest Atlanta's predetermined list of providers once the applicant is notified of their acceptance. A comprehensive list of selected service providers and their offerings will become available on this page in the coming weeks. Interested applicants should proceed with submitting their Resurgence Grant Fund application.
