As of Oct 3, 2026
As of Oct 3, 2026, WinAGrant tracks 371 grant programs for small businesses. 103 private and state programs are open right now, and 1 closes in the next 7 days.
Counted from the live catalog each time this page rebuilds. Programs tracked is every active program with a working funder link, the same count our homepage shows. The open and closing counts cover private and state programs only, not federal grants. Open means the program takes applications today and its deadline, if it has one, has not passed.
As of Oct 3, 2026
19 verified private and state grant deadlines fall in the next 30 days, soonest first.

As of Oct 3, 2026
The median published maximum award is $30,000, across 165 verified private and state programs that publish one. For the 39 programs available in every state, it is $10,000.
Each figure is the most a program says it will award, read from the funder's own page; federal grants are left out because their ceilings run far larger. The median is the middle value (the upper middle value when the count is even). A state or industry needs at least 10 programs that publish a maximum before we print its median, and a state's count reflects the programs we have verified there, not every program that exists.
We show a state table once at least 5 states each have 10 or more programs that publish a maximum. Today 2 states do, and 49 states have fewer than 10.
| Industry | Programs (n) | Median max |
|---|---|---|
| Agriculture | 30 | $60,000 |
| Food & Restaurant | 24 | $75,000 |
| Technology | 22 | $100,000 |
| Manufacturing | 20 | $150,000 |
| Services | 13 | $20,000 |
5 more industries have fewer than 10 programs that publish a maximum, so we do not print a median for them.
As of Oct 3, 2026
At least 7 programs list an application fee. The median fee is $15, from $15 to $25.
A floor, not a rate: we record a fee from the funder's own page when we find one, and it shows on that grant's card so no one pays a fee they did not see coming.
Out of 203 verified statewide and national programs, each counted once, read from the deadline and status we verify on the funder's page. This is smaller than the 371 programs tracked because city and county programs, duplicate listings of one program, federal grants and programs awaiting re-review are left out. The open count at the top is smaller again: it also requires a check within the last 21 days, a working link on that check, and an application window that has already opened.
As of Oct 3, 2026, the median published maximum award is $30,000, across 165 verified private and state programs that publish a maximum. Actual awards land at or below the maximum. More on grant amounts.
As of Oct 3, 2026, 19 verified private and state grant deadlines fall in the next 30 days, and 1 program closes within 7 days. Federal grants are not included. See every deadline in the next 90 days.
Some do. As of Oct 3, 2026, at least 7 of the 203 verified statewide and national programs we track (city, county and duplicate listings left out) list an application fee (median $15). Fees are recorded from funder pages as we find them, so this is a floor, not a rate. Check the funder's page before you apply.
As of Oct 3, 2026, of the 203 verified statewide and national programs we track (city, county and duplicate listings left out), 76 (38%) have no deadline posted and take applications on a rolling basis, and 47 have a posted deadline ahead (23%).
This page rebuilds from the catalog every few minutes, and the date at the top of each section is the day the figures were computed. Programs are checked against the funder's own page; the details are on how we verify. City and county programs are left out of the award, fee and deadline-type figures because they say little about a state as a whole.
