Is there some sort of add-on to upload things without cropping?

Here’s a helpful breakdown of PPP https://venturize.org/resources/payroll-protection-program

is there a list of PPP lenders in the area?

Amy Fowler…what’s your website? I’m looking for mask making supplies. Thanks.

Amy, we are working on that. We recommend calling your bank to start.

Amy, on the SBA website they have updated their locator. Thank being said because the locator is not complete, as Leila suggested, contact your bank to see if they are offering the PPP loan.

Amy—we will be releasing a preliminary list of PPP lenders later today. It’s evolving, and many are only able to lend to their current customers. Already ready to go: Redwood Capital, AEDC.

Leila, Umpqua may also be servicing loans

PPP Applications opening soon: Coast Central, Vocality, US Bank, Wells, Umpqua.

US Bank, Wells and Umpqua offer online “expressions of interest” in PPP lonas

Coast Central and Vocality are waiting for authorization from the SBA to accept applications.

forgot to mention for artists/makers/manufacturers - demonstrations or lessons online are super popular now
