New Notification System for Small Businesses Grants
To help let business owners know about future relevant opportunities when they arise, the East Central Indiana Small Business Development Center created a questionnaire with common criteria for small business grants.
Grant opportunities often target particular industries or disadvantaged persons. By registering with the SBDC for updates, small businesses can personalize the notification to include grants they may qualify for, but that aren't "universal" enough to announce generally or broadly.
