The Manitoba Bridge Grant will provide $5,000 upfront to businesses, not-for-profits and charities directly impacted by the province-wide Critical red restrictions that go into effect Thursday, November 12.
Small and medium-sized businesses, not-for-profit and charitable organizations that were directly ordered close their physical locations under Manitoba’s public-health orders will be eligible for the one immediate one-time payment.
The Manitoba Bridge Grant can be extended automatically Jan. 1, 2021, to provide an additional $5,000 to each organization should the public health orders remain in place.
