What it is
The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant paid live venues, theaters, museums, movie theaters, promoters, and talent representatives that lost revenue in 2020. This workbook is the SBA's dated snapshot of awards: grant amount, grantee name (the SBA appends - SVOG to each), street address, city, state, ZIP, venue type, and award date. A grantee can appear more than once where it received an initial grant and a supplemental award.
Where it comes from
Acquired on 2026-06-12 from the SBA's open-data portal, which hosts the same July 5, 2022 workbook. The checksum below is of that file.

Columns
Eight columns: amount, grantee name, address, city, state, ZIP, venue type, and award date. The workbook has no published data dictionary; the column headers are self-describing.
Caveats
- A dated snapshot, not a closeout ledger: awards and supplementals after July 5, 2022 are not in it.
- Names carry the - SVOG suffix; strip it before matching to other files.
- The workbook is a dated award snapshot rather than a current closeout ledger.
