PAGE 30 COALITION

Shaping the Future for America's Underserved Small Businesses

The largest small business package in America's history was included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed in late March...

PAGE 30 OF THAT LEGISLATION READS:

"SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate that the Administrator should issue guidance to lenders and agents to ensure that the processing and disbursement of covered loans prioritizes small business concerns and entities in underserved and rural markets, including veterans and members of the military community, small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (as defined in section 8(d)(3)(C)), women, and businesses in operation for less than 2 years."

Months later and with billions already deployed, more must be done to effect this prioritization. The Page  30  Coalition is launching to call attention to, and champion the, underserved and rural communities called out in CARES legislation and beyond.  

Nearly 50 organizations have joined forces to bring about action and awareness of Page 30 and related legislative and regulatory issues. Meet our Coalition members below.
