Last verified September 20, 2026 · How we verify
As of September 2026, a Virginia small business can be matched against 118 programs: 11 Virginia state programs, 42 national programs open to VA businesses, and 65 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.
Virginia's own programs first, then national programs. Every one names its funder, and every one is genuinely open to VA businesses. No padding, no filler.

10 more Virginia programs, plus the 38 national matches, scored against your specific business, and 65 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 Virginia's own budget and only VA 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.
This page lists programs. The report scores all 118 against your actual business (your industry, your state, how you're owned) and comes with up to 10 written applications, done with you.
