In case you missed the big news last week: the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) will distribute $50 million in grant money to businesses, nonprofit organizations, and sole proprietors in the creative sector that suffered losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Applications will be accepted by DCEO between April 5 and May 10.
