Plain-English guides to grants, funding sources, eligibility, and the realistic path to getting paid by funders.
A grant is money from a government agency, foundation, or corporation that doesn't need to be repaid. Here's who funds grants, who qualifies, and what winning one actually takes.
Can an LLC get a grant? Yes — LLCs qualify for SBIR/STTR, state economic development funds, and corporate programs like Comcast RISE, though most nonprofit-only grants are off-limits.
Federal vs private grants differ in funder, size, and speed: federal awards run through Grants.gov and take months, while state, foundation, and corporate grants move faster with lighter paperwork.
