The** Together Now Fund **has begun accepting applications for the second round of grants for Chicago businesses and non-profits. Businesses that continue to suffer from the impacts of COVID-19 are eligible to apply for operational grants of $4,000 each. Applications are available now and the application will remain open until August 31 at 11:59pm.

To be eligible, businesses must have 100 or fewer employees and have experienced economic distress and loss due to COVID-19. Please visit the [website](https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/together-now/home.html) for all eligibility criteria and for an FAQ. Businesses that received an operational grant during the first round of funding will not be eligible for another grant, but all other businesses are encouraged to apply, including those that applied during the first round and did not receive a grant.
