The Small Business Grants programme is limited to countries where Facebook has offices. Companies based, for example, in Portugal, Austria, or Luxembourg do not have access to the program.
To be eligible for the Small Business Grants programme, companies need to have between 2 and 50 employees, have been in business for over a year, have experienced challenges from COVID-19, and be in or near a location where Facebook operates.
Without geographic restrictions, Google and TikTok recently announced an ad credit program amid the coronavirus pandemic.
