Small Business Grant Opportunities

Small business owners regularly share their need for access to more cash. While most of the opportunities for capital come in the form of loans, private grants occasionally come across our desks. Here are three grant opportunities that were recently shared with us. These grant programs are open to small businesses nationwide and are highly competitive. You can find more information on these grants below.
