In the first round of the COVID-19 Resiliency Grant Program, 64 Tacoma micro businesses received $10,000 grants to help offset the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and cover expenses for payroll, inventory, mortgage/rent, or utilities not covered by other funding sources for COVID-19 assistance.

"Tacoma is a compassionate, resilient city," said Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards. "As we move gradually toward economic recovery, we must continue to support one another. It is my hope that we can help more of Tacoma's micro businesses navigate these tremendously difficult times with this second round of our Resiliency Grant Program."
The application period for the second round of the Resiliency Grant Program begins April 9, 2021 and ends April 23, 2021 at midnight.
Micro businesses must be located within Tacoma city limits, with a current business license, and have been operating for at least a year as of March 16, 2020. The majority owner must have a household income of no more than 80 percent of area median income and they must be able demonstrate that they have experienced a loss of income due to COVID-19. Some home-based micro businesses may qualify if they are located within lower economic opportunity areas in Tacoma.
