1. Grants.gov
Is a central portal where businesses can search and apply for grants from all federal grant-making agencies. This is one of my favorite sites to visit, here you can learn about grants, search for grants and needed attach forms. This website makes it easy for you to apply, all you must do is register I do recommend that you check weekly for updates.
2. National Association of the Self-Employed (NASE)
https://www.nase.org/become-a-member/grants-and-scholarships#google_vignette
NASE Offers several grant programs for small businesses, including the Growth Grants program and the NASE Business Development Grant program. This website offers a ton of good service and offers membership. Their member packages may vary, and their prices are reasonable. I can say this website offers way more than those you pay a lot of money for, and their membership package is worth getting. This is a keeper y’all check it out for your see and leave me a comment.
3. Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA)
MBDA offers several grant programs for minority-owned businesses, including the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program and the Native American Business Enterprise Center (NABEC) program. I chose this website as part of my top 4 because of the resources that this website offers. You will receive plenty of information here. There are plenty of business blogs and content. You might find some groups or organizations that can be helpful for you to join.
4. Small Business Administration (SBA)
The SBA offers several grant programs for small businesses, including the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to name a few. The SBA offer locations in your home city to help with one-on-one services as well as weekly and monthly meetings on Zoom with guest speakers. SBA is a good resource to use if you are a newbie to business and have tons of questions. The SBA also has plenty of resources and organizations you can join to help you on your way.
