Finding government grants for small business through Grants.gov
The most extensive online resource for government grants is Grants.gov, which has a tool to check eligibility and a search function. You could spend all day sorting through grants that don’t fit your business, but here’s how you can find the ones that do:
Depending on your business category, you’ll end up with anywhere from zero to hundreds of grant results. If there are quite a few results listed, you can perform a keyword search to narrow them down.
- From the home page, click Search Grants.
- Under Eligibility, check the type of business you have. If you’re a small business owner, this will likely be Small businesses.
- Under Funding Instrument Type, check Grant, unless you’re open to other types of funding.
- Under Category, check the category that applies to your business.
Additional government grant resources
- Every state has at least one economic development agency, although some states have different names for theirs.
- BusinessUSA has a questionnaire regarding business information that you can also complete to find financing options, which include grants.
- The Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR-SBTT) offers grants for small businesses in the technology and science industries.
