Grant Dollars Still
Available 
for Ohio’s Restaurants and Bars Impacted by the 2020 Pandemic

The Food and Beverage Establishment Grant, announced by the state earlier this summer, provides grants up to $30,000 to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and other food and drinking businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount of individual grants to eligible businesses will be determined by the business’ loss of revenue in 2020. Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Legislature have designated $100 million for this program. The program is administered by the Ohio Department of Development.
