The DoorDash Local Business Disaster Relief Fund is a grant program designed to provide financial support to small businesses affected by state or federally-declared disasters within the last 12 months.
Eligibility for the Program requires that the applicant be an entrepreneur serving as the leading executive of a small, for-profit business located and registered in the United States, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico. Applicants must be legal residents aged 18 or older (19 in AL and NE). The business must have three or fewer locations, no more than 50 employees per location, and revenues of $3 million or less per location in 2024. Businesses must have been open for at least six months and must have experienced a loss in revenue as a direct result of a recent state of emergency or federally-declared natural disaster.
To participate, applicants must complete the online application through the Hello Alice platform, ensuring that all information is accurate and complete. Only one entry per business and officer is allowed, and all entries are subject to verification by the Sponsor.
Grant recipients will be awarded between $5,000 and $15,000 to cover expenses resulting from revenue loss not covered by insurance. Eligible expenses include mortgage or rent payments, utilities, maintenance, supplies, inventory, supplier costs, business operational expenses, and other essential operational costs. Grant awards may also come with recognition on Hello Alice or DoorDash platforms.
Applications are reviewed by a panel including representatives from DoorDash and Hello Alice based on the applicant’s demonstrated need for funds, clarity and feasibility of the proposed use of funds, and commitment to community. The decisions of the panel are final, and recipients may be required to submit additional documentation or participate in an interview to verify eligibility and complete the grant process.
