10 Small Business Grants Available on GrantWatch

Getting funding for small businesses can be a challenge. Loans are a common way that businesses secure funding. However, if you are just starting out, these loans can be hard to obtain. Another downside of a loan is that you need to pay it back, and generally with interest. With grants, if you win funding, then you do not pay it back. 

So where can a small business find these grants? You can try searching the internet for free, but you may run into grants that are outdated or from questionable sources. There are also grant search databases where you can find small business grants that are researched thoroughly and sorted by keyword and category. GrantWatch is a popular online service that does just that! Some organizations also choose to hire a grant writer to help write the grants for them.

Types of Grant Categories

There are grants for a wide range of categories and industries. Some of these grant categories include Capital Funding, Entrepreneurs and Startups, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and Veterans and Military. Funding for grants can come from local, state, or federal governments, as well as private foundations and corporations.
