The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors authorized the creation of the PIVOT Business Grant Recovery Program. The aim of the program is to offer monetary relief to small business and non-profit organizations that had been greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

This decision comes after research was done to find how the pandemic affected small businesses in the county. The framework from which the county worked includes specific businesses in markets of food service, lodging and hotels, retail, services, amusement, arts organizations, museums, and historical sites. Also, the non-profits that would be under consideration would be those that have filed as 501©(3) organizations under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
