As small businesses and nonprofits experience financial impacts related to COVID-19, Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Business Improvement District, in partnership with local businesses and foundations are making available small stabilization grants. These grants are targeted to small businesses and nonprofit organizations (NPOs) that have experienced significant COVID-19-related decreases in net revenue. Grants are available up to a maximum of $2,000. Funding will range from $500-$2000 through a tiered award system based on the annual budget and total funds raised.
