Small businesses face two critical gaps: immediate cash in the first days after a disaster, and sustained support in the years after when revenue, debt, and rebuilding challenges persist. This fund is built to cover both, so businesses survive and communities recover.

The LiftFund Difference
LiftFund has more than 30 years of experience supporting small businesses and has deployed over $230 million in disaster relief funding to more than 12,000 businesses through grants and loans. Our team can launch these programs and begin distributing relief funding within 7-10 days of a disaster, helping businesses during the critical survival window. This speed matters; businesses that receive assistance in the first 2 weeks are far more likely to survive.
We also stay engaged long after immediate relief efforts end, providing support throughout the full recovery process.
