Covid-19 Hospitality Industry Recovery Program (CHIRP) Grant

CHIRP grant funds will be awarded to eligible Franklin County businesses as defined in Pennsylvania Act 1 of 2021. The funding is intended to alleviate revenue losses and pay eligible operating expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Franklin County Area Development Corporation (FCADC) will be administering and distributing CHIRP grant funds to eligible applicants on behalf of the County of Franklin.

Grant amounts will range from $5,000 to $50,000 per applicant in $5,000 increments and rounded down to the nearest $5,000. Funds received under this program cannot be applied against any costs that were also used to satisfy the requirements of another COVID-19 relief grant or loan program either from the Federal Government or Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, receipt of a prior Federal Government or Commonwealth grant or loan does not disqualify an applicant.

Applications will be received and reviewed on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted or June 15, 2021 (whichever comes first).

For eligibility and other information, please see: Covid-19 Hospitality Industry Recovery Program (CHIRP) Program Guidelines (updated March 10, 2021)
