Last verified September 9, 2026 · How we verify
As of September 2026, a New York small business can be matched against 109 programs: 5 New York state programs, 41 national programs open to NY businesses, and 63 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.
New York's own programs first, then national programs. Every one names its funder, and every one is genuinely open to NY businesses. No padding, no filler.

2 more New York programs, plus the 39 national matches, scored against your specific business, and 63 federal listings for you to review, in your full report.
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 and compliance terms, so read the award conditions before you accept.
State programs come from New York's own budget and only NY businesses can win them. 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.
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.
