2. SecretSOS Small Business Grant
- For: Entrepreneurs overlooked by traditional funding
- Grantor: SecretSOS
- Amount: $2,500
If you’re in need of a small cash injection, you should know about the SecretSOS Grant. The funding opportunity awards $2,500 to one recipient per quarter, and the current cycle is accepting applications until the end of the year. Like the ZenBusiness grant program, there are no strict stipulations on how the money should be spent, as the use of funds is up to the discretion of the business owners.
To be eligible for the grant scheme, entrepreneurs need to be over 21 years old and have an active business operating in all US states except for Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, New York, and Rhode Island. To apply, you simply need to provide details about yourself and your business, explain what makes it unique, and describe how you’d use the funds. You do need to pay a $15 application fee to place your hat in the ring though, so if you aren’t willing to put any dollars on the table we’d recommend looking elsewhere.
