Small Business Grant Programs in California 2024

WomensNet founded the “Amber Grant” in 1998. The grant was set up with one goal: to honor the memory of a special young woman, Amber Wigdahl, who died at 19 years old — before realizing her business dreams.

The California Employment Training Panel (ETP) and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) announce the availability of up to $1,000,000 in California State General Fund dollars for California Small Businesses impacted by the Paid Family Leave Program.

How it works.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s goal is to support small businesses in becoming more resilient and prepared for disasters. Times of crisis can be devastating for communities, and they are dedicated to sharing knowledge and resources and promoting collaboration to ensure a speedy recovery.

NASE has a business development grant worth up to $4,000 to use toward marketing, advertising, hiring employees, expanding facilities, and other specific business needs.
Since 2006, the NASE has awarded nearly $1,000,000 to members like you through the Growth Grants program by providing small business grants.
