Congress recently passed the CARES Act, providing financial relief during the Covid-19 crisis. Your church or mission is eligible to receive assistance, but applying can be confusing.
On Thursday, April 2, in partnership with the Missions Ministers’ Roundtable and CCV (Peoria, AZ) we staged a special webinar, The CARES Act: How Your Church/Mission Can Receive Rapid Assistance.
The webinar featured Doug Lucas interviewing Christ’s Church of the Valley’s Minister of Administration, Scott Chandler, who led his church through the application process for the Small Business Administration package that will be distributing funds from the CARES Act.
Here’s video recording of the webinar in its entirety, free of charge, with the hopes it can help you, along with other church leaders across the land.
Don’t know if you know this or not Doug, when someone applies, the uploading and downloading is the major hurdle we had in applying for this. You have to have certain software on your computer for your docs to upload and download. We spent 3 days watching the little circle on the computer go round and round. Very frustrating. Only to realize we needed more documentation, i think because of the bank we were using, our bank. We had the original application and thought we were done. Uh…no. Four more docs were required. But the different banks might add on different docs from other banks. There is a huge rush to get in, but not a lot of info about what you need up front. I had two employees go through this before we applied, and on the 4th day, we finally got in. Only when one discovered the software glitch. Good luck!
