In June 2021, New York State announced an $800 million fund to assist small businesses in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. AAF is collaborating with Empire State Development to help Asian communities in New York City gain access to this funding. Businesses that have suffered losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic should contact us for grant information, application assistance, and follow-up information on existing applications.
