Bring Back Brooklyn Fund Loan and Grant Program
We Support Small Business, When No One Else Can
Administered through Brooklyn Alliance Capital (BAC), the Bring Back Brooklyn Fund is designed to provide small businesses with:
- Grants for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and deep cleanings, and
- No-interest recovery loans up to $10,000 for businesses unable to obtain capital elsewhere.
Grant funds will be allocated to approved vendors for the purchase of PPE and/or deep cleaning services and earmarked for approved businesses based on their statement of need. Loan funds will be dispersed directly to qualifying businesses who meet BAC's underwriting standards, and upon the execution of binding loan agreement with the Brooklyn Alliance Capital. Both grant and loan funds are limited, and 65% of the total loan funds must be allocated for Minority/Women and/or Immigrant-owned businesses.
