I?ve heard there is grant money available to help fund my for-profit start-up business. Where can I find those grants?
A. Typically, grant money is only available to assist non-profit organizations. If your business is non-profit, you will want to start with the www.grants.gov and Foundation Center websites. However, the availability of grant funds for for-profit businesses is extremely limited and typically highly specialized. We have found no consistent, reliable source for small businesses either public or private. We don?t want to discourage you from searching for such funding, but the Oklahoma Department of Commerce is not aware of for-profit grant funding.
