COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 1
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 2
INTRODUCTION
The $800 million COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program (the Program) was
created as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget, in partnership of the Executive and the Legislature,
to assist COVID-19 impacted small businesses. Empire State Development (ESD), the State of New
York State’s chief economic development entity, oversees the Program.
The mission of the Program is simple to support the small businesses
1
that typically have the least
access to resources. To that end, the Program strategically encourages participation from micro-
businesses
2
, socially and economically disadvantaged business owners
3
, minority and/or women
owned businesses, and small businesses that did not receive adequate federal COVID-19 support
4
.
As of September 29, 2021, ESD has awarded $190 million to 11,995 small businesses. The Program
provides flexible grants of $5,000 to $50,000, with the average award being $15,879. As per the
Program’s mission, 99.4% of awards have gone to micro-businesses, 48.9% of awards have gone
to socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, and 88.6% have gone to minority
and/or women owned small businesses
5
.
Program grants generally represent a significant proportion of an awarded small businessoperating
expenses, and the investment has helped small businesses recover from the devastating impacts of
the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant awards from the Program are allowing small businesses across the
State to cover costs such as payroll, rent or mortgage payments, personal protective equipment
(PPE) expenses, utility bills, and any costs associated with compliance with COVID-19 health and
safety protocols (a full list of eligible expenses is available in the Appendix).
The small businesses targeted by this Program, by definition, do not have access to the same
resources that larger businesses do. Therefore, to ensure the Program’s success, New York State
deployed a suite of services to let small businesses know about the Program, and to help them
submit complete applications. These services include: funding a network of 69 Technical Assistance
(TA) partners to provide one-on-one assistance to over 11,000 applicants; delivering nearly 550
informational webinars to small businesses through trusted community voices; and establishing a
call center, which has logged over 146,000 calls with potential applicants to-date. Additionally, ESD
1
Per 16-ff (a) of the Urban Development Corporation Act, "small business" means a business which is resident in this
state, independently owned and operated, not dominant in its field, and employs one hundred or less persons.
2
Per 16-ff (b) of the Urban Development Corporation Act "micro-business" means a business which is a resident in this
state, independently owned and operated, not dominant in its field, and employs ten or less persons.
3
Socially and economically disadvantaged business are those owned by service-disabled veterans, and/or small
businesses located in economically distressed geographies.
4
For context, preliminary data from the U.S. Small Business Administration suggests that New York State businesses
received tens of billions of dollars across all SBA business assistance programs, including through the Paycheck
Protection Program, Economic Injury Disaster Loans & Grants, Restaurant Revitalization Fund grants, and the Shuttered
Venue Operator Grant Program. This data further suggests that in-state businesses secured assistance at rates higher
than the State’s relative share of the U.S. population.
5
Note that businesses can be classified as more-than-one category (“category” referring to micro, socially and
economically distressed, and minority and/or women owned small businesses).
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 3
offers all application materials in fourteen languages, is contacting applicants up to 30 times to allow
an opportunity to correct their applications
6
; and is engaging in extensive Program promotion,
including in cooperation with our legislative partners.
For Governor Kathy Hochul, championing and supporting the States many small businesses is a
priority. In August 2021, Governor Hochul expanded the Program’s eligibility to invite additional
COVID-impacted small businesses to access this vital funding.
Included in this report are: 1) details on Program progress, including summary statistics, 2)
information on the States efforts to support Program participation, 3) testimonials from actual award
recipients to showcase how the Program is making a difference to actual New York small
businesses, and 4) an Appendix of additional program details.
This Program, and the Programs success, would not have been possible without the support and
focus of our legislative colleagues; ESD looks forward to an ongoing partnership with the Legislature
on this critical initiative.
6
Applicants are given several opportunities to correct an application or to either clarify inconsistent application
information, or to submit all required application documentation. For example, an application that represents the
business name two different ways on an application would not be immediately disqualified. The applicant would be
contacted, and given an opportunity to correct their application. As another example, if an applicant uploaded their 2018
taxes, instead of their 2019 taxes (as required), the applicant would not be disqualified on this basis, and would be given
a chance to correct their application.

audience. Since launching the application portal in June 2021, 104,061 applications have been
started, and are in varying states of completeness. Of these, 38,749 are completed and fully
submitted applications, and 65,312 applications are incomplete, and therefore cannot be wholly

COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 9
SUPPORTING PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
In response to pandemic-induced economic hardships which have disproportionately affected the
small businesses targeted by the Program, ESD, with legislative support, launched a series of
initiatives to guide eligible small businesses through the Program application process. The efforts
were designed to ensure small businesses throughout the State were first made aware of the
Program, and second, had continuous assistance and guidance available to them throughout the
application process.
1) NETWORK OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PARTNERS
As part of this effort, ESD established a network of Technical Assistance (TA) partners to provide
hands-on guidance to small businesses seeking funding. The Program allocated $10 million in
technical assistance grants to 69 partners, including: 21 of New York’s statewide Entrepreneurship
Assistance Centers, 23 Small Business Development Centers, and 25 community organizations and
chambers of commerce. These TA partners are helping small businesses secure financial
assistance through the Program, as well as secure funding from other federal and State COVID-
recovery programs. TA partners have used these funds to hire additional staff, to allow one-on-one
direct counseling sessions with all interested small businesses.
ESDs network of partners serve as trusted voices for many small businesses. Located in
communities throughout the State, these TA partners have been serving as local ambassadors for
the Program, to meet potential applicants in their cities, boroughs, towns, and villages. There are at
least two participating TA partners in each region of the State, and in New York City, there is at least
one participating TA partner in each borough (a full list of all Technical Assistance Partners is
available in the Appendix).
2) GRANT ADMINISTRATOR
To create a streamlined and simple application, and to process a high volume of awards
expeditiously, ESD, with legislative support, competitively procured a third-party grant administrator
for the Program.
The selected administrator, Lendistry
, is a minority-led Community Development Financial
Institution. Lendistry has provided similar COVID-recovery grant services to other states, such as
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 10
California and Pennsylvania, and is a U.S. Small Business Administration Community Advantage
lender
10
.
3) LANGUAGE TRANSLATION SERVICES
Program materials, including educational materials and applications, are available in 14 languages.
Materials are offered in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese-Mandarin, English, French, German, Haitian
Creole, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Yiddish.
4) CALL CENTER
ESD established a call center to provide all applicants the ability to discuss any questions with a live
expert. To date, 146,000 calls have been received by the call center. The call center is open Monday
to Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The call center also allows ESD an opportunity to contact applicants to cure applications, and has
placed over 50,000 calls to applicants, offering guidance in finalizing applications.
5) APPLICANT ENGAGEMENT
In the event an application is incomplete, or includes inconsistent information, ESD allows every
applicant the ability to cure their submission. To this end, all applicants with an incomplete
submission receive outreach originating from ESD, from ESDs TA partners, and from Lendistry, to
provide every opportunity for an applicant to successfully apply. New York State recognizes that
small businesses, particularly those targeted by the Program, deserve the opportunity to be made
aware of insufficiencies, and given time to correct and finalize applications.
6) MARKETING CAMPAIGN
ESD launched an integrated marketing effort in May 2021, to coincide with the opening of the
application portal in June 2021. As part of this multi-platform campaign, statewide television
advertising was used to build broad awareness of the Program, while digital, social media, and print
efforts helped amplify the message.
10
The Community Advantage Program was created by the U.S. Small Business Administration to address the credit,
management, and technical assistance needs of small businesses in underserved markets.
https://www.sba.gov/offices/district/ut/salt-lake-city/resources/community-advantage-loans
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 11
To reach the small businesses targeted by the Program, television ads ran in both Spanish and
English. Print ads were also placed in local and/or foreign language papers across the State to
encourage participation from applicants whose primary language is not English, or who may not
have online access.
New York State’s Legislative leaders have also been instrumental in raising awareness of the
Program, and the Program’s network of support services.
7) PROGRAM EXPANSION
In August 2021, Governor Hochul expanded the Program by raising the revenue cap for eligible
businesses from $500,000 to $2,500,000, and by expanding the Paycheck Protection Program Loan
Exception from $100,000 to $250,000. This strategic expansion allowed New York State to invite
additional small businesses to apply.
ESD remains engaged in Program marketing and outreach and is actively messaging the expanded
Program eligibility to build awareness.
8) GRANT DISBURSEMENTS
In August, Governor Hochul updated New Yorkers that the Program had already awarded $48M. In
the time since, funding awarded to small businesses has more than tripled. Awarded funds
increased from $48M on August 25, 2021, to $190M on September 29, 2021.
The number of small businesses that received awards has more than quadrupled from 2,381 to
11,995.
These increases are due to extensive engagement from ESD and ESDs program partners to award
applications that have been submitted since the start of the Program. ESD anticipates that the
recently announced program expansion will follow a similar trajectory, wherein awards to the newly
eligible small businesses will grow over time, as this newly eligible population increasingly submits
applications.
9) ELIMINATING TAXES ON GRANT AWARDS
In June 2021, the New York State Legislature passed, and the Governor signed, a law to exempt
grants made under this Program from certain taxes. Specifically, the law provides an exemption from
the corporate franchise tax, and from personal income tax, for all grants made through the Program.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 12
This important law ensures that funds directed to COVID-impacted small businesses remain with the
awardee
11
.
10) FRAUD PROTECTION SYSTEM
The Program utilizes a robust anti-fraud methodology to protect State funds and the integrity of the
Program. Embedded in the Program design is a multi-layer fraud protection system that incorporates
technology, inclusive of a thorough cyber review, and manual review of all applications.
11
The law amends paragraph (a) of subdivision 9 of section 208, and subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax law.
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 13
AWARDEE STORIES
The COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program is making a meaningful impact
on small businesses across the State. To highlight the ways in which recipients are benefiting from
the Program, below are testimonials from actual award recipients.
Playbook MG
(branding/marketing)
Owner: Jean Jones
Grant Award: $37,589
Location: Brooklyn, NY
“Teamwork makes a dream work! This grant helped keep the Playbook MG dream alive by making
it possible to cover payroll for our employees. We believe in putting together a group of people that
target different parts of the business, and collectively their efforts are unmatched. This isn't possible
without the overhead to ensure the support
staff is in place to accomplish the tasks at
hand. The grant is far reaching in the sense it
acts like a game of dominoes, by engaging
with leadership to empower them to take
the necessary steps to get the pieces and
players in the right direction so they can be
their best selves and perform/work at their
best too."
CustomPrintablesNY
(printing/design)
Owner: Angela Dominick
Grant Award: $10,000
Location: Auburn, NY
“You saved us. Between my husband losing his job
of over 15+ years due to the pandemic, I'm a mom-
owned business who was drowning trying to keep
our family’s head above water and help make up
for that big loss in income. If it wasn't for Empire
State Development and the grant we wouldn't
have been able to afford the necessary protection required in our shipping area or with bills. It got
us over that hump and to keep going forward, without having to pull money from our personal
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 14
accounts (which are practically depleted). In all honestly, if we did not receive it, this mom may have
also been out of a business too. Thank you so much for all the help. Whether you know it or not, you
DID make a difference in our life!
Buffalo Film Works
(film studio)
Owner: Jennifer O’Neill
Grant Award: $38,737
Location: Buffalo, NY
“The grant enabled us to reopen our business by
providing funds that helped us abide by the newly
imposed restrictions due to COVID-19. We are happy to
be back in business, creating high-wage jobs for and reinvesting in the local, creative economy.”
First Priority Security, LLC
(security)
Owner: James Allen
Grant Award: $13,740
Location: New York City
“It was like finding a lake in the desert. We are a small
security company and when the pandemic hit, New York City
shut down and our ability to produce revenue was almost
impossible. The fear of not being able to meet payroll and pay
our monthly bills was weighing on us heavily. It had gotten to
the point where we were paying everything out of pocket.
When we received the grant from Empire State Development
it helped save our business and allow us to stay open and give
us the extra time we needed to allow the city to open back
up.”
COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT 15
