The U.S. Small Business Administration announced yesterday that it is again accepting applications from eligible entities for its “Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG)” program that provides economic aid for live entertainment small businesses, nonprofits, and venues.
According to the news release, new applications will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. PT August 2021.
