DEN and AMAC Unveils ACDBE COVID-19 Assistance Program

ACDBE COVID-19 Assistance Program

We’re Here to Help!

Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) and the Denver International Airport (DEN) Commerce Hub are proud to announce a new guidance program designed to help Airport ACDBEs on the path to sustainability and financial recovery through existing loan programs amidst this COVID-19 pandemic.

What is the program?

This guidance program is designed to lead Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ACDBEs) through existing programs to receive the most help possible to put you on the road to sustainability and recovery. It complements the advocacy work AMAC is currently doing on your behalf to secure federal assistance. We understand that the first allocation has been exhausted and we fully anticipate that there will be additional funding. We are currently mobilizing to best position ACDBEs for funding in the next package through AMAC advocacy and DEN resource assistance. We want to be a resource regardless of where you are in the application process or even if you haven’t already applied. 

The DEN Commerce Hub is well versed in federal relief programs and while we aren’t aware of all local programs, our team is happy to research and help you navigate what is available to you. It is apparent that events are moving quickly, and it is our goal to make sure you are receiving the most current information and assistance.

Specifically, we can:

  • Assist in navigating government programs, offer assistance in interpreting requirements and understanding the terms and conditions.
  • Help determine which programs are right for you and if you qualify for local and federal programs.
  • Provide technical assistance in applying for financial relief programs including proper documentation before and after applying.

Who can use this program?

Certified ACDBEs that do business in the airport marketplace. 

How do I access the program?

DEN Commerce Hub and AMAC looks forward to providing a helping hand to our ACDBE community during this crisis. 

This is a challenging time for our industry, but we will overcome and ascend to new heights.
