The City of Winnipeg has opened a second intake of the COVID-19 Economic Support Grant Program in order to assist Winnipeg small businesses and not-for-profit organizations that have been forced to restrict access to their premises due to COVID-19 public health restrictions that came into effect on May 9, 2021 or thereafter.
Small businesses and not-for-profit organizations can now apply online for a non-repayable grant of $1,500 through the second intake of the COVID-19 Economic Support Grant Program. Recipients of the first intake of the program will need to re-apply to participate in this current intake. The grant can be used for rent, utilities, wages, personal protective equipment (PPE), sanitizing equipment, or other business expenses incurred. Grant applications are now being accepted and must be submitted online, with eligibility requirements and the online submission form at: http://winnipeg.ca/covid-19economicsupportgrant
Program application deadline for the second intake is July 31, 2021. Eligible applications will be prioritized on a first come, first serve basis
