About Us
We are Pennsylvanians helping Pennsylvanians.
The COVID-19 crisis has put millions of small business jobs at risk impacting millions of families across our Commonwealth.
The nonprofit Pennsylvania 30 Day Fund was launched by Jeff Bartos, Jeff Brown, Richard Phillips and Roger Braunfeld. Working with other business leaders throughout the Commonwealth, the Fund’s goal is to help save as many Pennsylvania jobs as possible while small businesses await recently approved federal funding.

The funds dispersed to small businesses by the Pennsylvania 30 Day fund do not need to be repaid. If businesses who receive the Fund’s assistance do, at a later date, wish to “pay it forward” to another Pennsylvania small business in need of assistance, they may do so by directing those dollars back to the Fund, which will disburse the funding to another Pennsylvania business in need.
