From Texas Governor Greg Abbott:
Governor Greg Abbott today announced that Goldman Sachs and the LiftFund, along with
other community development financial institutions (CDFIs), are partnering to provide $50
million in loans to small businesses in Texas that have been affected by COVID-19 as part of
the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program. These loans, made through the U.S.
Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), will primarily be
used for payroll so that employees can continue to receive paychecks and small businesses can
retain their employees and will be partially or wholly forgiven. More information can be found
