Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support entrepreneurs and small business owners who are working to build, stabilize, or grow their businesses. The funding is intended to reduce common financial barriers by providing direct, non-repayable capital alongside broader support for long-term sustainability. Grants are typically available to for-profit small businesses rather than nonprofit organizations, and individual applicants generally apply as business owners rather than as private individuals.
The grants are offered on an annual or recurring basis and are available to eligible businesses operating within the United States, including many states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Some opportunities may prioritize businesses located in underserved or disaster-impacted regions, while others focus on general growth regardless of industry, as long as the business meets basic operational requirements.
Grant funding generally ranges from approximately $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the specific opportunity and the scope of the business’s needs. These funds may be used for a variety of business purposes, such as hiring staff, expanding operations, improving infrastructure, purchasing inventory or equipment, strengthening marketing efforts, or covering essential operating expenses like rent and payroll. In certain cases, funding may also support recovery efforts following unexpected hardships or disruptions.
The grants tend to prioritize businesses that demonstrate a clear plan for growth, resilience, or recovery, as well as a commitment to serving their customers and communities. While industries may vary, applicants are often expected to show that the funding will create measurable impact, whether through job creation, improved financial stability, or increased capacity.
In addition to financial support, some grant opportunities include educational components or structured programs aimed at helping business owners strengthen management skills, improve strategy, and build long-term success. Overall, these grants are intended to empower small business owners with flexible funding and resources that help them move forward with confidence.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Connecticut that are actively involved in Small Business. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
