The Entrepreneurship Partner Grant Program provides grants to eligible nonprofits so they can, in turn, provide funding support and technical assistance to startups and entrepreneurs throughout the state, so aspiring business owners can connect with the resources they need to launch new companies. The program has grants available for new or pilot projects and for established projects with demonstrated results. The program will have multiple competitive cycles throughout the year.
