State And Federal Grants

Your business may be eligible for a state or federal training grant (or other funding). Learn more through your local Workforce Development Board, Small Business Development Center, or economic development agency.

Obtaining training grants can be a complex process, but worthwhile pursuing. Key points to keep in mind:

  • The opportunities are real and are offered through federal, state, and local government authorities you can trust.
  • Before applying for a grant, always check your eligibility and carefully consider your ability to meet grant requirements.
  • To increase your chances for success, follow application instructions to the letter and prepare a thoughtful, thorough response.
  • Grant-making agencies want you to succeed! So get whatever help you need to navigate the process (see below for contacts).
