Main Street America Communities Survey on Small Businesses and COVID-19 Impact

Over the last four decades, the Main Street America Network has painstakingly measured the impact of their work. Those numbers help them articulate the value of their work and make the case for the economic benefit of investing in Main Streets.

Main Street America Network is asking for your help in gathering more data – this time to help them understand the threats faced by small businesses in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, they are looking to understand business’ ability to withstand what may be several months of suppressed revenue and we need to understand what kinds of support programs will have the most impact.

In short, strong data will make them stronger advocates to Congress, to state legislators, and local elected officials in explaining the kind of resources needed by small businesses to weather the storm.
