The grant is positioned as a means to catalyze growth for founders who are ready to take meaningful steps forward, whether through launching new initiatives, enhancing marketing strategies, or improving operational sustainability.
This grant program is inclusive and welcomes applications from all small business owners and entrepreneurs within the United States, regardless of their business's industry, stage, or geographical location.
