If you have a business or want to start one, try your hand at obtaining grants - it is quite possible that your project will be the best for this or that grantor.
A great idea, a ready-made business plan, a willingness to work - that's what it takes to become a grant applicant in America. If the application window is not yet open, set yourself a reminder and submit documents when required. You will have enough time to come up with an optimal offer and create an important competitive advantage, suggests The Penny Hoarder.
1. The amber grant
Each month a panel of judges gives the winner $ 1000. Then, at the end of the year, one of the 12 monthly winners is eligible to win an additional $ 9000. The best part about this grant is that you don't have to use corporate language or fancy synonyms. Judges are looking for ideas that are passionate and come from the heart - from dog walking to investing in science. Again, the application is very simple: name, idea, and other basics. You will need to write down what you plan to do with the money and other details that you think matter. There is a $ 15 fee for filing, but it's worth it.
2. Halstead Grant
This annual grant is available only to women in the jewelry business. The deadline for applying for this year's grant is August 1. The winner receives $ 7500 and a $ 1000 gift card for Halstead, a jewelry wholesaler. Other benefits include a cup (perhaps the best part of the winnings) and a trip to the company's headquarters in Arizona. Process filing simple - basic information plus answers to questions.
3. Idea Café Small Business Grants
This grant is not only for women in business, but most of the winners are ladies. Therefore, it is worth mentioning it. For example, bakery owner from Hamilton, New York, Brittany Buonocor received a grant in 2016. Starting with a small store, it will expand to a large store. The $ 1000 grant is for those who creatively solve an everyday problem. Not that it's a huge amount, but quite a good start. Keep an eye on the application window.
