Program Summary:
To support small businesses and employers facing financial impacts and layoffs from the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Vallejo, in partnership with the Workforce Development Board (WDB) of Solano County and the Solano-Napa Small Business Development Center, has established the Vallejo Small Business COVID-19 Microgrant program.
This program will provide micro-grants to approximately 50 small businesses in Vallejo that are experiencing economic stress due to Covid-19. These micro-grants are funded by the City of Vallejo with monies received from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
The City of Vallejo’s $350,000 ARPA funding will allow the Solano-Napa SBDC and the Workforce Development Board, on behalf of the City of Vallejo, to award grants to these small businesses based on number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, as of June 30, 2022. Pre-determined grant amounts are as follows:
- 0 to 5 FTE: $5,000
- 6 to 10 FTE: $7,500
- 11 to 20 FTE: $10,000
Eligibility:
Grants will be awarded based on eligibility guidelines established by the City of Vallejo.
For-profit businesses are eligible for this grant if the business meets ALL OF THESE CRITERIA:

- Has a current City of Vallejo business license
- Is open and operating

Grants will be awarded based on eligibility. All applications submitted prior to the July 29 deadline will be reviewed. If necessary, a randomized lottery will be conducted to select the 50 small businesses that will receive grant funding.
The grantee list will be announced on Aug. 11 at solanonapasbdc.org.
All grant recipients must self-certify that grant funds will be used for one or more of the following permissible activities:
- The purchase of new equipment
