The Federal Government has expanded grant eligibility to For-Profit companies - this includes both small and large US-based businesses. For years, federal grants were only available to non-profits and government entities. Now, on any given day, businesses can apply for over 2,000 for-profit grant opportunities. While the average grant size is around $1 Million, many current grants have a ceiling of $25 Million. This GovBrief session expert has been involved in submissions of For-Profit grants of over $500 Million. 

Learn how your company can:

• Find For Profit Grants
• Organize the Grant Requirements
• Respond to the Grant with a Professional Proposal

This is important because your company can now submit proposals for For-Profit grants. Grants can now be a part of your federal revenue strategy providing you repeatable, federally provided, free funding for your business. Moreover, For-Profit Grants have flexibility for awards with deliverables that your company can define and manage.
