With access to capital being so tight, business grants are a hot topic among cash-strapped entrepreneurs looking to start or expand a business. Each year, the United States government supports businesses by providing billions of dollars in grants administered by 26 different federal agencies. More than 1,000 business grant opportunities are offered through the federal government each year and thousands more are offered through state and local agencies.

Out of the $500 billion in grants the federal government gives out every year about 5% ($25 billion) are awarded as business grants. The rest go to states, governments, governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, universities, schools and school districts. When the federal government does provide business grants, most are awarded to support research and development activities—primarily related to technology, energy, healthcare, public safety and criminal justice, among others.

Although 5% may not seem like a lot, it still amounts to $25 billion in business grants that the federal government does award to for-profit firms each year. Though you won’t find any federal grants for starting a business or paying off debts, the range of business activities that federal business grants support is nonetheless broad.

For startups, business grants are an ideal funding source because they are non-diluting. They also provide a strong measure of validation for a technology or concept. But be warned, business grants are not going to be available to most types of startups, only those that are engaged in activities aligned to strategic national, state or local interests. You should also know that business grants are not easy to obtain and are not a free ride – they come with extensive reporting and compliance requirements.
