OVERVIEW



The New York State COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program was

businesses, micro-businesses and for-profit independent arts and cultural
organizations in the State of New York who have experienced economic hardship
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  


GRANT AMOUNTS



Grant awards will be calculated based on a business’s annual gross receipts for
2019 (see below for more information). Grant amounts and calculations are
subject to change by Empire State Development.

 

 * Annual gross receipts: $25,000 – $49,999.99: Award is $5,000 / business
 * Annual gross receipts: $50,000 – $99,999.99: Award is $10,000 / business
 * Annual gross receipts: $100,000 – $2,500,000 [UPDATED 08.25.21]: Award is 10%
   of gross receipts (maximum grant is $50,000)


ELIGIBILITY




ELIGIBLE BUSINESS QUALIFICATIONS

Small businesses, Micro-businesses, and For-profit independent arts and cultural
organizations (collectively, “Eligible Applicants”) must be currently viable and
have begun operation on or before March 1, 2019, and continue to be in operation
as of the date of application (maybe shuttered due to COVID restrictions). See
the FAQ section below for definitions of business categories above.

Eligible Applicants will be required to show loss of gross receipts as a result
of the COVID-19 pandemic or compliance with COVID-19 health and safety protocols
which resulted in business modifications, interruptions, or closures.

Small businesses and Micro-businesses must:

1. Have 2019 or 2020 Gross Receipts of between $25,000 and $2,500,000 [UPDATED
08.25.21] per annum

 * line 1a, IRS Form 1120 or 1065;
 * line 1, IRS Form 1040 Schedule C
 * sum of line 1a + line 2, IRS Form 1040 Schedule F

2. Demonstrate positive net profit on 2019 Business Return ($1 or greater)

 * line 28, IRS Form 1120 (line 21, IRS Form 1120S);
 * line 22, IRS Form 1065; or
 * line 31, IRS Form 1040 Schedule C; or
 * line 34, IRS Form 1040 Schedule F

3. Demonstrate at least a twenty-five percent (25%) loss in annual gross
receipts in a year-to-year revenue comparison as of December 31, 2020 to the
same period in 2019, in each case, as reflected on Grantee’s 2019 and 2020 filed
federal tax returns,  including any 2020 Pandemic Unemployment Assistance,
Federal Pandemic Unemployment [UPDATED 08.25.21].

 * Loss to be calculated based on the difference between line 1a on IRS Form
   1120 or 1065 (line 1 on IRS Form 1040 Schedule C), or the sum of line 1a +
   line 2 on IRS Form 1040 Schedule F reported on 2019 federal tax return and
   line 1a on IRS Form 1120 or 1065 (line 1 on IRS Form 1040 Schedule C), or the
   sum of line 1a + line 2 on IRS Form 1040 Schedule F reported on the 2020
   federal tax return (in each case covering the same period). The calculated
   value must show a reduction of 25% year over year. Businesses with a partial
   tax year in 2019 will calculate a 25% loss based on the comparable number of
   months in 2020.

4. Demonstrate that the total business expenses on the 2020 business income
return are greater than the grant amounts.

 * Total expenses calculation versus proposed grant amount will be based on
   business expenses reported on 2020 federal tax return submitted by the
   applicant.

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 or any other available federal COVID-19
economic recovery or business assistance grant programs, including loans
forgiven under the federal Paycheck Protection Program, or are unable to obtain
sufficient business assistance from such federal programs.
