Are you a small business, independent contractor, or self-employed individual in desperate need of coronavirus relief options? A second round of Covid-19 relief funding is now available to small businesses, self-employed individuals, and independent contractors. This free webinar will guide you through the process of applying for small business relief as part of the new round of COVID-19 funding.
We’ll help you understand if you are eligible for funding, how much funding small businesses you can apply to receive, what the funding can be used for, whether you will have to pay any part of the funding back, and, most importantly, how to actually apply for the COVID-19 grants and loans for small businesses.

"I enjoy helping those in the business community and civic organizations understand how politics at the state and national level affect them. One of the most interesting courses I developed for the Wake County League of Women Voters was about public policy issues in the state — education, transportation, etc.— that went beyond the basic talking points that seem to dominate popular discussions. I help people think beyond their partisan orientations to examine public policy and elections in an objective way."
- David McLennan, Professor of Political Science; Director of the Meredith Poll
