Chinese American Small Business Impact & Recovery Survey Report
During the period of September 2020 through December 2020, CMP and the Rotary Club of Chinatown NYC conducted a mini survey of Chinese American businesses in New York City.
From the 66 responses we received, we learned about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on them, and the support that they need towards recovery. Based on this survey and the numerous dialogues in which the Rotary Club of Chinatown NYC and CMP participated, we also compiled a list of recommendations to be shared with small business owners, community advocates, policy makers, the philanthropic sector, and concerned individuals.
This report focuses on presentation of key findings and recommendations derived from the survey. For a complete set of survey questions and aggregate responses, please contact us at info@cmpny.org.
