The Denver International Airport (DEN) Commerce Hub and the Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) have partnered to provide resources and guidance to assist ACDBEs impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This guide is intended to help ACDBEs navigate the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL), both administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), as well as other programs that may be helpful to our ACDBE community.
The Commerce Hub team is available to answer your questions. If you need assistance, we encourage you to contact our office at [email protected] to submit a question or schedule a call.

The Federal Reserve established a Main Street Lending Program to provide additional lending options to small and medium-sized businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We encourage all interested borrowers to immediately begin the process of seeking eligible and participating lenders to discuss applying for a loan that would meet their needs. Involvement in the program is at the discretion of each financial institution, therefore, a list of participating lenders is not available.
Administered by the SBA.
Provides small businesses with funds, in the form of a forgivable loan guaranteed by the SBA, to pay up to 8 weeks of payroll costs. Up to 40% of the funds may also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent and utilities.
EIDL program was created to assist businesses, renters, and homeowners located in regions affected by declared disasters. The CARES Act expanded the program in response to the COVID-19 emergency.
- SBA will begin accepting new EIDL and EIDL Advance applications on a limited basis only to provide relief to U.S. agricultural businesses
