COVID-19 Resources for Nonprofits

In addition to the below resources, Propel Nonprofits is providing no-cost technical assistance to nonprofits in the Upper Midwest as it relates to finance, strategy, and governance questions or concerns. Whether you need to revise your cash flow projections, a sounding board as you strategize next steps, or guidance as a board member on how you can be most supportive, don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our staff. We’ll be revising and updating the below list of resources in the weeks to come.

CARES Act: What Nonprofits Need to Know

Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)

Nonprofits with less than 500 employees qualify for this new SBA program. The Paycheck Protection Program provides potentially forgivable loans for nonprofits at 2.5 times your average monthly payroll for up to $10 million. Nonprofits apply through their bank. This program is designed to be streamlined with the goal of helping nonprofits retain their employees; there’s no penalty for a “good enough” application.

April 27 Update from the SBA: The SBA will resume accepting Paycheck Protection Program applications from participating lenders on Monday, April 27, 2020, at 10:30 am EDT.

We will be watching for any additional funding for this program.
