The US-based Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) recently created a database of funding sources for small businesses needing assistance because of the COVID-19 pandemic. These listings include 550 funding sources in 62 countries offering a total of approximately USD 1 trillion. This funding takes the form of loans and grants and is available to for-profit entities as well as NGOs. CASE is accepting new listings to add to the database as well as volunteers to help manage the resource. The database is located at https://www.covidcap.com/. CASE is part of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, which is located in the city of Durham, North Carolina.
