On August 11, 2021, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced the Back to Business (B2B) grant program as part of his overall economic recovery strategy. The $250 million grant program "aims to deploy small businesses recovery grants for those hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic."
While no one is prohibited from applying, there are high priority businesses. To learn more about the program, visit the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
Due to the likelihood of quickly depleted, limited, grant funds, please contact the Chicago Southland Chamber of Commerce directly with any questions.
