Community Support Hub
What is Happening?
We recognize the frustration, confusion, and stress that entrepreneurs and small business owners in our community have been experiencing as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. We see you and we are here for you; we are in this with you.
How is The Alliance Supporting Our Community?
As we are moving through these rapidly changing times, we are determined to hold onto our values of accessibility, local leadership, equity, and unity. We want to provide our community members with the necessary information to get the assistance they need to keep their businesses as financially viable as possible given current constraints. Below, you will find a list of local organizations, ranging from local nonprofits to community development financial institutions (CDFIs), that are offering COVID-19 relief to non-clients.
Note: COVID-19-related relief information is continuously evolving. We will do our best to keep you updated on the latest developments related to availability of funds, eligibility, and required documents. If you know of resources that should be included, please email us at [email protected].

What is Our Role?
The Alliance is here to help direct community members to the organizations and institutions that are currently offering COVID-19-related relief. Even though we do not guide applicants through a listed organization’s application process, we do offer more in-depth COVID-19 Navigation Support to community members (See COVID-19 Navigation Program). We are also offering technical assistance to entrepreneurs who need help filing their Payroll Protection Program applications.
Note: These listings may change depending on each organization’s capacity to intake applications and funds.
