Title
COVID-19: Ask the Expert - Emergency SBA Loans and How Nonprofits Can Access Them
Subject Matter Expert
Scott Bossom – Senior Vice President of Small Business Administration Lending, Columbia Bank
Scott Bossom will provide an overview of emergency SBA loans as part of the COVID-19 federal stimulus package legislated recently. The package includes funding for “special emergency loans of up to $10 million for eligible nonprofits and small businesses, permitting them to cover costs of payroll, operations, and debt service, and provides that the loans be forgiven in whole or in part under certain circumstances.”
What does this mean for Oregon nonprofits? Scott will address this, as well as answer your questions.
Send your SBA loan-related questions or comments ahead of the session to [email protected].
*Space is limited to 500 participants. Please note that a recording of this webinar will be made available on NAO's COVID-19 Resources page for later viewing.
