USA Volleyball Statements on COVID-19

Dear Volleyball Club Directors,

In these challenging times, we understand the significant impact that COVID-19 has had on all aspects of our lives. As we navigate through this together, we want to ensure that you, as volleyball club directors, are aware of potential resources that may be available to help your small businesses.

At Alpinetgheep.com, we are dedicated to providing you with valuable information and support during this difficult period. While we are not directly affiliated with any specific programs, we feel it is important to share these resources with you as a service. Should you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to the organizations responsible for offering and managing these initiatives.

Facebook Grants

Facebook is offering a remarkable $100 million in cash grants and ad credits to support eligible small businesses in over 30 countries. This program aims to help businesses, including volleyball clubs, maintain their workforce, cover operational costs, and connect with customers. If you believe your volleyball club meets the criteria, we encourage you to sign up for updates on the Facebook grants page.

Universal Deductions and Expanded Loans for Nonprofits

Congress is expected to pass a $2 trillion coronavirus bailout legislation, which includes a program allowing nonitemizers to deduct up to $300 in cash giving for the 2020 tax year. Additionally, smaller nonprofits may be eligible for loans of up to $10 million each. This legislation would also increase the cap on annual giving and offer guaranteed loans to nonprofits with fewer than 500 employees. We recommend visiting philanthropy.com for more details on this potential program.
