CDA announces small business relief fund grant program

The city of Coeur d’Alene announced it has reserved $340,000 in CARES Act funding for small business relief grants.

The grant program is available to businesses and organizations (including nonprofits and licensed in-home childcare providers) registered with the state of Idaho and located within the city's jurisdictional boundaries.

In the first round of the grant allocation, eligible expenses for businesses will be focused on keeping kids healthy and making Coeur d’Alene safer for residents and visitors, according to a press release.

Examples of eligible uses of small business relief fund grants include COVID-19-related expenditures to purchase personal protective equipment, furniture, fixtures, and equipment necessary to continue business operations in light of the coronavirus, and youth services.

Applications for the first round of grant allocations are due by Oct. 8.
