The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has launched two new programs to help businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will provide grants of up to $75,000 to eligible small businesses (businesses with 50 or fewer employees) and grants of up to $25,000 to eligible microenterprises (businesses with 5 or fewer employees) to fund certain activities. The application round opened on October 22 and was scheduled to close on November 12. However, the deadline has been extended to Tuesday, November 17 at 11:59 pm.
