Summary
There are several grant opportunities available primarily designed to support small businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. These grants focus on helping women-led businesses grow and expand their operations, although some programs also provide guidance to a broader range of applicants, including nonprofits or other business owners. The grants are typically awarded on an annual basis and are open to eligible applicants operating within the state, with some opportunities prioritizing specific regions, such as urban or rural communities.
The intent of these grants is to provide funding that can be used to strengthen operations, invest in new equipment, expand marketing efforts, hire additional staff, or otherwise scale business activities. Applicants are encouraged to use the funds to develop their business capacity, increase sustainability, and enhance their impact within their local communities. The grants also aim to foster economic growth and provide support to underrepresented business owners who may face barriers to accessing traditional financing.
Funding amounts generally range from a few thousand dollars to upwards of several thousand, with awards sometimes divided across multiple recipients to reach businesses in different types of communities. Small businesses, particularly those that are majority-owned by women, are the primary focus, but there are also resources available for nonprofits and individuals seeking support, depending on the specific program or advising offered.
Overall, these grant opportunities provide a flexible source of funding and advisory support, helping recipients build capacity, pursue growth opportunities, and enhance their ability to contribute to the economic vitality of Montana. The grants are designed to be accessible, recurring annually, and adaptable to a range of business and community development needs.
