The city provided grants to help make the difference “between folding up and pushing through.”  But according to Garcetti, the wait list for grants piled up without federal funds to assist the city. Furthermore, Garrett’s also states the following:

“Thanks to an incredibly generous donation of $5 million from Willow Bay and Bob Iger, I’m proud to announce that 1,000 of our city’s hardest-hit businesses will come off that waiting list and be helped. Your new commitment will help these businesses weather this storm, and we are beyond grateful for your bold leadership.”

The couple previously gave $500,000 to the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles at the beginning of the pandemic.
