Due to the success of the Bergen County CARES Small Business Grant Program for non-essential Bergen County businesses, the County of Bergen is happy to announce that they have extended the program and reopened the application portal for an additional week. Eligible business owners who missed the first opportunity can now apply!

The application portal, which can be found at www.BergenCountyCares.org, reopened this morning, and will close next ‪Friday, August 21st at 5p.m.‬ The Bergen County CARES grant program was established to help provide relief to small businesses straddled with expenses related to COVID-19.

Businesses deemed “non-essential” per the Governor’s Executive Order that were forced to close as a measure to stop the spread of COVID-19 will be eligible to receive up to $10,000 in financial relief to cover rent, property mortgage, and utilities expenses.

The Bergen County CARES Small Business Grant Program is funded through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act Federal relief fund. All administrative questions can be sent to BergenCountyCares@co.bergen.nj.us.
