West Center is both an SBDC and a Women’s Business Center therefore can support anyone in need of application assistance.

Because many are trying to apply for the CA Relief Grant the site can run into glitches. Please remember This grant is NOT a first come first serve grant. It is revenue/needs based.
Tech Support:
Here's some help tips should you having technical difficulties:
(1) Make sure you are using the Chrome browser.
(2) If it is not working today try again tomorrow or this weekend if the page isn't loading--there are thousands applying every hour in the first days, so the site can get overloaded. Please remember This grant is NOT a first come first serve grant.
(3) For tech support, password resets, re-entering a submitted application, etc. please reach out to Lendistry directly: 1-888-612-4370 or careliefgrant@lendistry.com
If the grant request is approved, there is no deadline for spending the money, however it will count as taxable income.
