Hi Brenda,

Small businesses and nonprofits in all 50 states are now eligible to apply for the SBA disaster relief loan: https://www.zenefits.com/workest/applications-open-for-sba-coronavirus-relief-loans-in-all-50-states/

You can find the application here: http://www.sba.gov/disaster

Only businesses who cannot find funding elsewhere will qualify. The loan amount can be up to $2 million per business and will have an interest rate of 3.75% for small businesses and 2.75% for nonprofits.

The SBA also has a disaster customer service center. You can call them at 800-659-2955, or email [email protected].
