Indiana has recently announced a new business grant that is available to certain small Indiana companies that have not taken advantage of the federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or other similar programs.

Qualified expenses under this program include rent/mortgage payments, utilities, lease payments for real or personal property and health and safety investments such as personal protective equipment and infrastructure improvements.

Eligible businesses can receive up to $2,500 or $5,000 for each month you experienced a revenue loss of at least 40% or 80% (respectively) for up to $10,000 in grants per business. According to the State of Indiana website, at least $5 million of the $30 million within the fund is reserved for certified minority and women-owned businesses.
