On Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Never Forget Foundation launched a fundraising program to support small business. The goal is to help deliver financial grants and PPE to small companies – especially those that support local fire, rescue, and police services – and to get PPE into the hands of responders on the front lines of the COVID19 pandemic.
We know that the federal Small Business Administration has not got the job done through the SBA EIDL – Economic Injury Disaster Loans – or the Paycheck Protection Program. Report after report has come out saying big business has gotten SBA loans meant for small business. We know we can do better and we want to focus on the mom and pop and local shops that support our public safety community every day.
We support small business
Our non profit is intentionally diverse so we can represent all of America. We also look to support the entire community of businesses that supply our needs. This is so that everyone has an opportunity to succeed and overcome adversity and challenge.
We want to make sure that in those communities where business restrictions exist we can offer support also whether it is Dallas, Texas or San Francisco, California.
Our goal is to keep minority, woman, and/or veteran owned small business afloat during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Most grants and loans probably won’t protect members of the service industry. They won’t protect the party planner, your favorite boutiques, beautician, barber, food trucks, or many other small businesses.
Our project is hoping to help pay rents, booth costs, and equipment rental/storage fees for minority, woman, and/or veteran owned small business. We know everyone needs time to adjust to the new normal without drowning in deferred debt. We also want to buy PPE from these groups for delivery to their local responders.
With your donations we will be able to help small business, especially minority, woman, and/or veteran owned small business and get PPE to the healthcare providers fighting COVID19.
Our immediate goal is to cover their rent. Every $10,000.00 collected can give four to five minority, woman, and/or veteran owned small business another month to make adjustments.
Please donate and share this to keep small businesses afloat across the nation during COVID19! Please share #NeverForgetSmallBiz and donate today.
