New Financial update
1) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan received
In early April, like many churches, small businesses and not-for-profit organizations, we submitted an application for a Paycheck Protection Program loan through our local bank Univest. The loan is intended to support an organization’s ability to continue payroll and utilities during the pandemic crisis. In May, we received $27,000 in proceeds through this loan program. The amount of the funds was based on the prior year’s average payroll and utility expenses. As long as we meet certain requirements on the use of the funds (for payroll and utilities) the vast majority of the loan is expected to be forgiven. Any amount not meeting the requirements will need to be paid back with interest at 1%. We were pleased to be able to secure this funding to support our church during these uncertain times.
2) Finishing the update on giving for the month of May:
