Frequently Asked Questions

Small Business Grant Questions,
Answered.

Awarded makes finding small business grants simple. Create a free business profile (5 minutes), and our matching engine scans 9,200+ grant programs to show you exactly which ones you qualify for. Instead of manually searching Grants.gov, SBA.gov, and dozens of state websites, Awarded does it all in one place — covering federal grants, state grants, and private foundation programs.
Yes — over $700 billion in grants are awarded in the U.S. every year. Unlike loans, grants are free money that you never have to pay back. Federal agencies like the SBA, USDA, DOE, NIH, and NSF offer thousands of grant programs specifically for small businesses. State and local governments add thousands more. The problem isn't that grants don't exist — it's that 83% of small businesses never apply because the process is too complicated. Awarded fixes that.
Almost certainly. Grant eligibility depends on your industry, location, business size, revenue, and certifications. There are grants for technology startups, agriculture businesses, clean energy companies, healthcare providers, manufacturers, and virtually every other sector. Additional programs target women-owned businesses, veteran-owned businesses, minority-owned businesses, businesses in rural areas, and nonprofits. Awarded checks your profile against all of these criteria instantly and tells you exactly which grants match.
Dozens of grant programs are specifically designed for women-owned businesses, including the SBA Women's Business Centers (WBC) grants, NWBC programs, state-level MWBE programs, and private foundation grants from organizations like the Amber Grant Foundation and IFundWomen. Beyond dedicated programs, women-owned businesses often receive priority scoring on general small business grants. Awarded identifies all of these automatically when you indicate your woman-owned status.
Yes. The SBA Boots to Business program, Patriot Express loans, Veterans Business Outreach Centers, and numerous state-level veteran entrepreneur programs provide funding, training, and resources specifically for veteran-owned businesses. Many general grants also give priority to veterans. Tell Awarded you're veteran-owned and we'll surface every program available to you.
The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), SBA 8(a) program, NMSDC-certified programs, and state MWBE programs all provide dedicated funding for minority-owned and Black-owned businesses. Programs like the USDA Socially Disadvantaged Groups Grant, EPA Environmental Justice grants, and many state economic development funds also prioritize minority business owners. Awarded matches you to every program where your minority-owned status qualifies you for additional funding.
No. While some grants are nonprofit-only, thousands of programs are specifically designed for for-profit small businesses. The SBIR/STTR programs alone fund billions in small business R&D. SBA loans and grants, USDA business development programs, state economic development funds, and industry-specific grants are all available to for-profit businesses. Awarded shows you both nonprofit and for-profit opportunities based on your business structure.
Grants.gov only lists federal programs and uses dense government language — navigating it takes hours. Awarded goes much further: we include federal, state, county, city, and private grants (9,200+ programs). More importantly, we don't just list grants — we match them to your specific business, explain eligibility in plain English, show you exactly why you qualify (or don't), and generate ready-to-review application drafts so you can submit with confidence.
Your top 3 grant matches are completely free — no credit card, no trial period, no catch. Upgrade to $29/month to unlock your full match list and get AI-drafted application packages: pre-filled forms and narrative responses ready for your review. You review and submit — we do the research and drafting. The cost is a small fraction of the grant funding you'll receive.
Instantly. Complete your 5-minute business profile and our matching engine returns results immediately — a ranked list of every grant you qualify for, with eligibility scores, award amounts, deadlines, and explanations of why each grant matches your business. No waiting, no manual review.

Free money exists for your business. Go claim it.

Billions in small business grants go unclaimed every year. Not because businesses don't qualify — because they don't know where to look. Awarded finds the grants. You get the funding.
