If you want to give your business a chance at winning a grant you have to make sure your company aligns with the mission of the organization. This includes the Small Business Administration (SBA), American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), local governments, non-profits, and private organizations.
Whether it is a public or private organization, they all have a specific issue they want to address with the funds they are giving away. Finding what these issues are, making sure you qualify, and following directions, which include deadlines, will give you a better chance at winning a grant. With that in mind, here are some of the grants available now:
Local communities are providing grants funded by ARPA programs to address everything from pandemic recovery to business expansion, physical improvements, marketing, female-founded businesses, and more. These grants range from $2,500 to $250K, so make sure to apply.
The SBA is providing $4 million to help Veteran small business owners and entrepreneurs. Businesses can qualify for up to $400K. This is part of the upcoming Veterans Small Business Week taking place from October 31 to November 4. If you are a veteran, transitioning service member, Reserve and National Guard member, or military spouse, make sure to also look into the many resources the SBA provides.
