COVID-19 RECOVERY ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
|
|
|
Hillsborough County helps small businesses through hard times with financial assistance that won't need to be repaid. This is a financial assistance program, not a loan. Therefore, the funds do not need to be paid back. Awarded funds can be spent on any business-related expense, such as employees' wages, mortgage, rent, vendor invoices, utility bills, payroll, and other costs, so long as these expenses are not paid for by insurance or another federal assistance program. Receipt of other local, state, or federal assistance (such as One Tampa or PPP/EIDL relief loan funds) will not impact a business' eligibility for this program.
Fixed award amounts are determined by the number of employees for each business:
- 0 to 2 employees - $10,000
- 3 to 10 employees - $20,000
- 11 to 20 employees - $30,000
- 21 employees and more - $40,000
Applications will be accepted through Dec. 1, 2020, or until funding is exhausted.

The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Outreach team is looking for volunteers to write letters of encouragement and hope to our first responders and patients at Tampa General Hospital.
As you know, many patients are left by themselves, lonely and in the care of strangers. If any of you have been to the hospital lately the scenery is not what we were used to. Patients for the most are left by themselves, and without any interaction from the world. Some might no even have cellular phones, TVs, nor iPads or computers. In such a difficult time, we are asking our Hispanic Community to join forces with our team and the Tampa General Hospital in South Tampa.
They are receiving letter of hope for their patients and the staff. If you feel compelled please write and encouraging letter to:
Tampa General Hospital
ATTN: Foundation E141
PO Box 1289
Tampa Florida 33601
Spanish written letters are encouraged as well. Please take a picture and send it to: aishka.lugo@tampahispanicchamber.com
