Grant Writing Your Dreams True Guide
An Introduction To Local Grants
|
In this article we are going to go over what Local
Grants are and how they can help your business.
You can also find grant money available for small businesses to access and use
at a more local level. You will want to see if your city or nearby cities has or
have an Economic Development Council. These councils offer a wealth of help for
new local businesses. They all vary a bit, but likely here is where you can find
out what the business climate and the demographics are for the town in which you
will want to do business, which will assist you in writing your business plan.
One example of this is the Thurston County Economic Development Center. They
offer grants through the Washington Technology Center's Research and Technology
Development Grant Program, for applied research projects to make their way out
of the lab and into the marketplace. Another type of financial assistance they
make available is the Community Development Block Grant Float Loan Program,
where the city applies for a grant and with that money makes available short
term loans to private businesses that will create jobs for lower-income
individuals

You can also sometimes find
business grant money from your local government. In the
Seattle area, among others, if you are planning a larger new
business that will employ 150 people and will require
building, you can receive King County Green Building Grants
if your project will be LEED, or Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design, certified, which is building for
conserving resources.

Your local Economic Development Administration might also
provide you with resources to start a business. If you are a
non-profit organization or an affiliate of one, you might be
able to apply for an economic development grant that can be
used by the nonprofit for expenses related to planning for
lessening unemployment and improving incomes in an
economically distressed area, which can make your business
plan stronger and increase the chances of your business on
paper becoming a reality.

Other places to look for local grants are at your town or
city's Chamber of Commerce. Sometimes they might not offer a
grant to a business, but they do offer grants to non-profit
organizations, so your business could work with a local
non-profit to develop a program that would meet the grant's
qualifications.
Through a Chamber of Commerce you might also find that a
particular city offers a grant to qualified businesses equal
to a percentage of their investment in the first year of the
business's existence if the company is located in a
particular area of the city.
If you belong to a business organization or association you
might find local grants available through these resources,
as well as small private foundations and family foundations
that are located in your area and which might fund local
projects. There are many business organizations and
associations available, ranging from the Arizona
Bio-industry Association to the American Philosophical
Association and the Computing Technology Industry
Association, to name a small number of business associations
out there. These types of organizations often offer help and
support to a new business through education, perhaps a
mentorship program, and sometimes grants.
You now know what a Local Grant is and can start looking for
one that matches your business plans.
