California is home to millions of businesses – many of which are small and could use some extra support. Luckily, the state, local governments, and nonprofits offer small business grants for various purposes. Here are several current small business grant programs in California.
California Dream Fund
The California Dream Fund is a $35 million program to support the state’s new businesses. New businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs can apply for micro grants of up to $10,000. Full details are expected early in 2022. But the program will require entrepreneurs to have a business entity established after July 1 2019, with all necessary permits filed and some form of business training and plan started.
