The application process opened Monday for a $40 million fund that will give $10,000 per eligible bar or restaurant. More than 2,000 applications have been submitted, requesting nearly $19 million in aid.
The Team Kentucky Food and Beverage Relief Fund was created when additional restrictions were levied against bars and restaurants earlier this month. Businesses wishing to apply can do so here.
The fund has been designed to provide one-time grant awards of up to $10,000 per restaurant or bar, with a maximum of $20,000 to a business entity that operates multiple restaurants and bars. These grants are to be used as a reimbursement for business expenses incurred between March 6 and Dec. 31, 2020.
Reimbursable expenses include items such as: rent, employee salaries, health insurance costs, inventory and personal protective equipment. To check eligibility, or to apply, visit teamkyfbrf.ky.gov.
