With a generous gift from the Still Water Foundation in support of PeopleFund’s COVID19 Relief Fund, we launched a program to support restaurants in the Austin area during the current crisis. Participants in this relief fund receive financial assistance in the form of loans from $5,000 to $150,000 with interest rates of 5% or less and the first 6 months of payments totally forgiven. Restaurants with more than one location may apply for larger amounts.
