Small Business Grant & Contest Watch

Track grants and funding open to US small businesses. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days that are new, newly open, or close within 21 days and have not appeared in this Tab: federal, state, city and county grant programs; corporate grants and contests from companies such as Amex, FedEx, Verizon, Comcast, Hello Alice, Nav, Lenovo and Intuit; foundation and nonprofit grants; industry, women, veteran and minority owned business funds; SBA loan program, fee and eligibility changes; disaster and relief funds; and pitch competitions with cash prizes of $5,000 or more. Prefer grants.gov, SBA, state and city economic development agencies, funder pages and established small business reporting; ignore grant-writing services and pay-to-apply schemes. Put the amount and funder first in the title, with eligibility and the effort to apply. Use high severity for a grant of $10,000 or more with broad eligibility, or a deadline within 7 days. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for eligibility, the amount, the effort, how to apply, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
