Finding the funds you need in this economic climate can be difficult, but grants offer a solution for many small business owners. Although the amount of grants is not always sufficient, they can nevertheless help. Especially because the beneficiaries do not have to repay it. If you are looking for alternative forms of funding, take a look at the grants available in your city and state as well as nationally.
Many grants are offered by public and private organizations to help small business owners throughout the year. You can find what’s available now here:
This week, Wells Fargo is helping fund The Beyond Grant as well as the Miami Open for Business program with a $20 million fund. Public organizations also offer many other grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 to help businesses with storefront repairs, coaching, and more.
There is also $71 million available from American Rescue Plan Act funds with grants of up to $10,000 available now.
