Grants
Grants - few and far in between
As a reminder, there is no such thing as free money. There are fewer grants out there than people think and they each have a number of requirements for funding. The SBDC doesn't do grant searching for you. But we can help with your business plan and projections so that you can put the information together that is required your your grant application if you decide to go that route.
The US Chamber has put a comprehensive list of grants and resources available to small businesses. See their list here: Free Grants and Programs for Small Business | CO- by US Chamber of Commerce
