As the impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve, investors are looking for ways to help offset the losses that may be felt from the pandemic. We have compiled a working list of resources for you to review, which may be helpful to explore and take advantage of.

This list includes info on the Paycheck Protection Program, EIDL Loan Emergency Advance, SBA Express Bridge Loans and SBA Debt Relief. 

Louisville Metro resources include the Small Business Continuity Loan Program, which provides zero-interest loans (with no payments for 12 months) to our smallest businesses (10 full-time employees or fewer) impacted by COVID-19.

Get info on all these programs on our new COVID-19 Resources page.

Because we didn't have a March main meeting this month at Woodhaven, we didn't have an opportunity to hold our usual raffle to raise funds for the Home of the Innocents. Mike Fallot, from KREIA's Platinum Sponsor MM Lending, would like to rectify that. Mike has issued this challenge:

"MM Lending will match dollar for dollar, up to $500, for contributions by KREIA members to HOTI, thru 4/22/20. Hopefully we can raise at least $1,000 to continue to support HOTI."

Thank you, Mike! Come on, KREIA, let's make this happen! To take Mike up on this generous offer, send a check made out to Home of the Innocents to KREIA's snail mail address: P.O. Box 91225, Louisville, KY 40291.
