Grants for Small Businesses
A living directory of funding, tax credits, and workforce programs that help small businesses adopt AI responsibly — without eating the cost alone.
What we're building
AI transitions are expensive. Training your team, upgrading tools, rewriting processes, hiring help — most small businesses don't have the capital to absorb those costs up front.
The good news: public and private funding exists to offset much of it. The bad news: finding it is a second job. Programs live on dozens of disconnected sites, eligibility rules are buried in PDFs, and deadlines move without warning.
We're building a single place to search, filter, and act on those programs — so your attention goes toward the work, not the paperwork.
What it will do
Match by location and industry
Filter federal, state, local, and utility programs by where you operate and what you do — no more sifting through generic lists.
Eligibility at a glance
Structured criteria show you which programs you actually qualify for before you spend an afternoon reading PDFs.
Application roadmap
Every program includes the steps, required documents, and typical timeline so you can plan around real deadlines.
Verified and dated
Each listing is sourced from primary documents and re-checked on a schedule — you'll see when it was last verified.
Built for AI adoption
Prioritized toward workforce development, reskilling, technology adoption, and small-business growth funding.
Save and track
Pin programs you're interested in, add notes, and get reminders before application windows close.
Where the programs come from
The directory draws from six categories of funders, continuously verified against their primary sources:
- Federal agencies (SBA, Dept. of Labor, NSF)
- State economic development offices
- Local and county programs
- Workforce development boards
- Utility and energy-efficiency incentives
- Nonprofit and philanthropic grants
