Non-Profit Business Webinar-Rep. Casten
REGISTER FOR NONPROFIT AND SMALL BUSINESS WEBINARS
This week, U.S. Representative Sean Casten is hosting two webinar events specifically for nonprofit and small business organizations as we all cope with the disruptions caused by the coronavirus epidemic.
These events are free and open to the public, though space is limited to 500 participants for each webinar, so we encourage you to register now.
Representative Casten will be joined by a representative of the US Small Business Administration for two webinars on resources created by the recently passed CARES Act, including the Paycheck Protection Program loans, Small Business Debt Relief Program, Employee Retention Tax Credit, Employer Payroll Tax Deferral and Business Counseling.
The first session is for nonprofits and the second session is for small businesses.
Registration is now open:
- Wednesday, April 8th 3:00pm CT - Rep. Casten Webinar on Federal Resources for Nonprofits
- Thursday, April 9th 4:00pm CT - Rep. Casten Webinar on Federal Resources for Small Businesses
These webinars build on the Village of Bartlett's previous webinar on the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program which was recorded on March 25, 2020. More information and resources can be found here.
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR SMALL BUSINESS IS OPEN!
Included in the CARES Act stimulus is the Paycheck Protection Program, designed to help small business owners cover their employees’ payroll and benefits during the crisis. This program also applies to non-profits, veteran organizations, sole proprietorships, the self-employed, and independent contractors. These loans will be forgiven so long as proceeds are used to cover payroll costs and benefits, and employee compensation levels are maintained (capped at $100,000).
Applications opened April 3 for small businesses and sole proprietorships, while applications are open for independent contractors and the self-employed starting April 10.
You can find more guidance on how to apply at the Department of the Treasury’s website.
Please contact Representative Casten's office at (630) 520-9450 with any questions.
