As of September 2026, minority-owned businesses can apply right now to Job Creators Quest Grant ($2,500–$10,000), Galaxy Grant, and TRANSFORM Business Grant, among 9 programs matched specifically to minority-owned businesses, plus general and federal money below.
Most of these grants never run an ad. The money is real, and it is set aside on purpose for minority-owned businesses. The hard part was never qualifying. It was finding out the grant existed before the window closed. That is the part we fixed.
Every program here is genuinely for minority-owned businesses. Each names its funder and links to the official page. No padding, no filler. The general and federal money a minority-owned business also qualifies for is in your full report.

The programs in the table above set aside money specifically for minority-owned businesses, so that is who wins them. But a minority-owned business also qualifies for every general small-business grant and every federal program. Your report scores all 248 against your actual business, not just the 9 listed here.
No. A grant is not a loan. You never pay it back. Most small-business awards just ask for a short report on how the money was used. Larger federal grants can carry more formal reporting terms, so read the award conditions before you accept.
Every program shows the date we last verified it against the funder's own page. Anything that closes, moves, or changes gets caught by our daily re-check. How we verify grants.
