Michigan announced a second round of funding for the Michigan COVID-19 Safety Grant Program to provide small businesses with matching funds of up to $10,000 to decrease risk through health and safety-related equipment purchases and training.

The grant application window was open from June 7 through June 18, with a potential third phase if funds remained available.

Applicants must have fewer than 250 employees, provide their COVID-19 safety plan, and describe how the grant would improve workplace safety for employees and customers.

Grant monies can be utilized to:

  • Purchase health and safety supplies such as sneeze guards, physical barriers, face coverings and hand washing/hygiene stations.
  • Purchase Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including gowns, gloves and eye protection.
  • Train employees about the potential spread and dangers of COVID-19.
