Is your business (or a business you love) struggling? Help it through this tough time with a GoFundMe.
Thousands, if not millions, of businesses across America have already been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. That's why GoFundMe created its Coronavirus Small Business Relief Initiative, which the company claims "is intended to support our friends and neighbors at local businesses facing financial loss from the COVID-19 pandemic. Make a difference today by donating or starting a small business fundraiser."
So, if you own a business, it might be time to set up a GoFundMe that can help. If you love a local company that's struggling right now, you can check the website to see whether you can donate or whether you might be able to start a GoFundMe for that business. If you're simply in a giving mood, here are three businesses asking for donations right now.
