Featured Training
Grant Writing for Your Small Business
Finding funding to start or grow a business is, by far, one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs and small business owners face. Grants are rare, but they’re not unattainable — the right research, skills, and strategy are all crucial components to increasing your application approval odds. During this training, you’ll learn how to harness each of those key components to craft a successful application. You’ll also learn about who provides funding, what they look for in grant candidates, and how the application process works from beginning to end. Note: This training was pre-recorded and is presented by the A-B Tech Small Business Center and Western Women’s Business Center.
