In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the United States Government passed the Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) in March 2020 and the Economic Aid Act in December 2020. One component of the CARES Act, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), provided the Organization an opportunity to apply for a forgivable loan to assist in funding payroll and other costs including rent and utilities. On March 1, 2021, the Organization received the second PPP Loan funding of $259,772. As of December 31, 2021, the Organization has used the full amount received to fund eligible expenses under the terms of the Small Business Administration (SBA). As a result, the Organization believes and expects that it will meet the PPP eligibility criteria for forgiveness and has concluded that the PPP Loan represents, in substance, funds provided under a government grant. As such, the organization recorded the debt forgiveness as grant income during 2021. Subsequent to year-end, the Organization was granted forgiveness for the full amount of the loan from the SBA. |
