Facebook announced a $100 million grant program to small businesses that have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

“We’ve listened to small businesses to understand how we can best help them,” wrote Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg on her Facebook page. “We’ve heard loud and clear that financial support could enable them to keep the lights on and pay people who can’t come to work. That’s why today I’m announcing that Facebook is investing $100 million to help 30,000 small businesses in over 30 countries where our employees live and work.”
