Small businesses play a large part in the overall business infrastructure of the United States. According to the Small Business Association<\/a>, 60 million Americans, or 47.1 percent of the population, work at a small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many small businesses do work focused on helping communities in their area. Like nonprofits or educational institutions, these businesses apply for grants for various resources and assistance. For instance, the funds can be used towards renewable energy sources, providing academic training to employees, or supporting a program that will benefit a community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch<\/a> has a category specifically for small business grants<\/a> on its website. For more information, visit the\u00a0GrantWatch FAQ<\/a>\u00a0page. Best of luck with your grant-seeking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
