Rural Relief Small Business Grant is a grant from the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), in partnership with Lowe's, that funds small businesses located in rural communities with populations of 50,000 or less affected by COVID-19.
The program is part of LISC's Rapid Relief and Resiliency Fund and is designed to support small businesses in underserved rural areas, with priority given to businesses owned by people of color, women, and veterans who often lack access to affordable capital. Only for-profit small businesses are eligible; nonprofits are not eligible for current rounds but may qualify for future funding.
Applications are accepted in rounds and require a new submission for each round. The Nevada Department of Business and Industry may administer or promote access to this program for Nevada-based rural small businesses.

Non-profit organizations are ineligible for the relief funding program at this time, but may be eligible for later rounds of funding.
Applications are being accepted in “rounds”. You must submit a new application for each round in order to be considered for funding in that round.
