Hello OBMA Members,
During a special meeting yesterday, the County of San Diego Supervisors approved $20M additional funding for their small business stimulus grant program.
You can read the details here. Scroll down to page 9. During the meeting the "events industry" (including events like street fairs) was added to the list of eligible organizations.
On behalf of Arts+Culture:San Diego I called in and made comments to request that all organizations, including non-profits, would be eligible for this any any future funding. This was confirmed by staff during discussion.
Grants will be available for each County District. According to the discussion, applications will once again be accepted through the County website and it is expected that the application will be live as soon as tomorrow.
Finally, we will be working to build awareness of the negative impacts of the pandemic on Arts+Culture organizations and we would love your organization to consider participating in that discussion. If you would like to be included, please let me know by clicking here.
