The SBA reopened the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) Application Portal on April 26, 2021. Applicants will be placed in a virtual waiting room and will be able to start their application in the order in which they arrived.

  1. Register with the SVOG Application Portal.
  2. Refer to the SVOG Application checklist to make sure you have everything you need to complete your application.
  3. Review additional resources at sba.gov/svogrant such as the SVOG Applicant User Guide and SVOG FAQs. (Hint: Keep these resources open so they’re handy during the application process).
