The Montana Business Adaptability Grant was made possible through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act is federal legislation to stabilize the economy through the Coronavirus Pandemic. It received bipartisan support and was signed President Donald Trump.
Montana-based businesses of all sizes and types are eligible to apply for reimbursements of expenses related to communications, remote work equipment, cleaning supplies, tools to enhance social distancing, sanitation and travel or hotel costs for quarantining employees, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Itemized receipts and proof of payment are required for reimbursement.
The Montana Business Adaptability Grant has $20 million in funds; the maximum reimbursement per business is $10,000.
