CARES Act

A Note from MUW Regarding the CARES Act:

A major financial resource known as the Corona Virus Stimulus and Cares Act was enacted by the U.S. Congress on March 27, 2020.  It is an economic recovery bill that provides $2.2 trillion to provide relief for small and mid-size businesses, including for-profits and 501©(3) non-profits, and significant individual and family direct payments. Each organization should carefully consider which elements meet its needs.  Please do not let any lack of familiarity with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) put you off from pursuing any of the benefits identified.  There are likely people among your organization’s supporters who are more familiar with the SBA and can help you.  If you have a relationship with a bank, your bank may be very helpful to you.  The Monadnock United Way has been learning about the financial benefits for non-profit organizations contained in the Act and will continue to update htis page to provide you with resources and information pertaining to the CARES Act.
