Thank you for completing this quick 10-minute survey, which will inform us and other decision makers about the impact of COVID-19 on your business. All businesses and non-profit organizations are encouraged to participate in the survey, no matter your designated reopening phase.

Please continue to monitor your email- we will send information regarding financial programs developed for impacted small businesses and non-profit organizations, including application links, as well as re-opening guidance materials. We also encourage you to track your expenses, losses, number of customers, employee hours worked, actual income, and other relevant business details until the crisis is over.
