Last verified October 3, 2026 · How we verify
As of October 2026, a Kansas small business can be matched against 119 programs: 4 Kansas state programs, 2 multi-state programs that include Kansas, 47 national programs open to KS businesses, and 66 federal grants via Grants.gov.
Most of these programs never run an ad. The money is real, but nobody tells you it exists. That's the part we fixed.
Only Kansas's own programs, open ones first. Each names its funder and links to the official page. Annual programs spend most of the year between windows; the date tells you when to be ready.

This program covers more than three states, so we list it here instead of counting it as a Kansas state program.
We track 1 more multi-state program that includes Kansas and is not open, dated or verified closely enough to name here yet.
Also open to KS businesses: 47 national programs and 66 federal grants via Grants.gov. They are the same in every state, so we list them by who they fund: women-owned, veteran-owned, minority-owned, or by industry.
Every verified grant deadline in the next 90 days is on one page: the live deadlines list.

State programs are run through Kansas agencies and partners and are limited to KS businesses or projects. Less competition. National programs are run by companies and foundations and are open to businesses in every state. Federal grants come through Grants.gov and tend to be larger and more paperwork-heavy.
