    ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding eligible Private NonProfit organizations (PNPs) in Massachusetts of the Sept. 17 deadline to submit disaster loan applications for physical damages caused by a severe winter storm and snowstorm on

    PNPs located in the following counties are eligible to apply:  Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Worcester in Massachusetts.

    The SBA also offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs, such as ongoing operating expenses to PNP organizations.  Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance is available regardless of whether the organization suffered any physical property damage.
     
    Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at DisasterLoan.sba.gov.
