Last verified September 9, 2026 · How we verify
As of September 2026, a Texas small business can be matched against 110 programs: 6 Texas state programs, 41 national programs open to TX 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.
Texas's own programs first, then national programs. Every one names its funder, and every one is genuinely open to TX businesses. No padding, no filler.

2 more Texas programs, plus the 40 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.
Get ready before the window opens. GO TEXAN Marketing Enhancement Grant Assistance - Product Promotion lists its next window as “~Spring 2027”. The owners who win are the ones whose applications are ready the week a window opens, not the ones who find out it existed the week it closed.
State programs come from Texas's own budget and only TX 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.
