"As Governor Lamont announced today, the state has created the Connecticut CARES Small Business Grant Program to help small businesses and nonprofits that continue to be negatively impacted by COVID-19.
Small businesses and nonprofits in Connecticut with a 2019 payroll of less than $1.5 million OR 20 or fewer employees can apply for a one-time grant of $5,000. DECD will administer the program and online applications are estimated to begin the week of November 9. All funding will be disbursed by the end of the year.
Per Governor Lamont’s direction, half of the funds will be allocated to small businesses and nonprofits located in towns and cities that have been designated as distressed municipalities. The program is funded from Connecticut’s portion of the federal CARES Act.
Additional information, along with eligibility requirements, can be found here. DECD will also host webinars and online discussions in the coming weeks to assist businesses and nonprofits with the application process.

We continue to do everything possible to help organizations that have been hardest hit by the pandemic. We will be in touch over the next few weeks with more information leading up to the launch of the grant application.

Thank you and stay healthy.
Sincerely,
David Lehman, Commissioner

Dear CT Business Owner,
We are fully aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives and changed the way business is conducted everywhere. Connecticut’s small businesses especially have had to quickly adapt to new protocols and guidelines that protect their employees and their customers. Although Connecticut is seeing some of the lowest transmission numbers in the country, the long-term economic impact of the pandemic is not yet known.
In order to drive effective decisions and policies to help our small businesses across the state we need information. Below is the first of several surveys intended to gather feedback from our small businesses on the front lines.
The survey is completely voluntary but we encourage filling it out as best you can and/or sharing it with any relevant businesses.
We need to hear directly from you, the business owner, about how your business has adjusted and what key services are necessary to sustain and grow in this new post-COVID environment.
We thank you in advance for all that you have done and continue to do to keep our state healthy, safe and moving forward.
As always if you have questions or concerns, call (860) 500-2333 or email [email protected]
