COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT – SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE 1
INTRODUCTION
This report serves as the September 2022 quarterly update to the COVID-19 Pandemic Small
Business Recovery Grant Program Report. Per § 16-ff (7), Empire State Development is required
to publish a report detailing Program progress, beginning September 30, 2021, and on a quarterly
basis until all funds are expended.
The Program will continue to process applications until the portal closes on September 30, 2022.
For additional support, the $200M New York State Seed Funding Grant Program launched on
September 14, 2022. This program is designed to provide assistance to early-stage small
businesses in a recovering New York State economy. This program is open to businesses that are
currently operational with annual revenues between $5,000 and $1,000,000 that began operation on
or after September 1, 2018, visit nyseedgrant.com for more information on further eligibility
requirements and how to apply.
The $800 million COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program (the Program) was
created as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget, in a partnership of the Executive and the Legislature,
to assist COVID-19 impacted small businesses. Empire State Development (ESD), the State of New
York’s chief economic development entity, oversees the Program.
The mission of the Program is simple – to support the small businesses1 that typically have the least
access to resources. To that end, the Program strategically encourages participation from micro-
businesses2, socially and economically disadvantaged business owners3, minority and/or women
owned businesses, and small businesses that did not receive adequate federal COVID-19 support4.
As of September 14, 2022, ESD has awarded $641.1 million to 35,805 small businesses. The
Program provides flexible grants of $5,000 to $50,000, with an average award of $17,905. As per
the Program’s mission, 99% of awards have gone to micro-businesses, 48% of awards have gone
to socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, and 90% have gone to minority and/or
women owned small businesses5.
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, 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 in 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 – SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE 2
Program grants generally represent a significant proportion of an awarded small business’ operating
expenses, and the grant 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 the 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 inform small businesses about the Program and to help them
complete their applications. These services include funding a network of 69 Technical Assistance
(TA) partners to provide one-on-one assistance to over 34,729 applicants; delivering nearly 854
informational webinars to small businesses through trusted community voices; and establishing a
call center, which has logged over 361,816 calls with potential applicants to-date. Additionally, ESD
offers all application materials in fifteen languages, contacts applicants up to 30 times to allow
opportunities to correct their applications6; and engages in extensive Program promotion, including
in cooperation with our legislative partners.
For Governor Kathy Hochul, championing and supporting the State’s 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. Specifically, Governor Hochul
expanded the Program by raising the revenue cap for eligible businesses from $500,000 to
$2,500,000 and expanded 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.
Included in this report are: 1) details on Program progress, including summary statistics, 2)
information on the State’s efforts to support Program participation, 3) testimonials from actual award
recipients to showcase how the Program is making a difference to New York small businesses, and
4) an Appendix of additional program details.
This Program, and the Program’s 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 the 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.

PROGRAM PROGRESS
As a result of the strategic design and approach of the Program, awards are reaching the target
audience. Since launching the application portal in June 2021, ESD has received 148,268
applications. Of these, 68,159 are completed and fully submitted applications; 80,109 applications
remain incomplete, despite several attempts to contact and assist applicants with completion and,
therefore, cannot be fully evaluated for eligibility.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT PROGRAM REPORT – SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE 8
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 made aware of the Program
and 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 in order to provide
one-on-one direct counseling sessions with all interested small businesses.
ESD’s 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 be available to 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 – SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE 9
California and Pennsylvania, and is a U.S. Small Business Administration Community Advantage
lender9.
3) LANGUAGE TRANSLATION SERVICES
Program materials, including educational materials and applications, are available in fifteen
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, 361,816 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 129,898 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 opportunity to cure their submission. To this end, all applicants with an incomplete
submission receive outreach originating from ESD, from ESD’s 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.
9
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 – SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE 10
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.
Since the prior Report, ESD has undertaken additional outreach efforts to raise awareness of the
Program.
7) GRANT DISBURSEMENTS
In the prior Report, ESD updated New Yorkers that the Program had already awarded $600 million.
Awarded funds increased from $600 million on June 30, 2022, to $641 million by September 14,
2022.
The number of small businesses that received awards has increased from 34,090 to 35,805 since
the prior Report.
As additional context on the Program’s grant disbursement progress, on August 25, 2021, Governor
Hochul announced that the Program had awarded $48 million to-date. From August 25, 2021, to
September 14, 2022, awarded funds have increased tenfold.
These increases are due to the extensive engagement from ESD and ESD’s program partners to
award applications that have been submitted since the start of the Program.
8) 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.
This important law ensures that funds directed to COVID-impacted small businesses remain with the
awardee10.
10
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 – SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE 11
9) 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.
