2026 Pilot Small Business Growth Fund
Application Closes: March 31, 2026
Application Review Period: April 1st - April 24th
Recipient Tentative Announcement: early May 2026
Unlike a business loan, grants are not automatically "approved" or "denied". Once the application window is officially closed on 3/31/26, the grant application review process will begin. The grant review teams will work to narrow down the pool of eligible applicants to the strongest grant applications that align with the judging criteria outlined in the Terms and Conditions, resulting in the top applicants awarded.
The grant recipient announcement is tentatively scheduled for early May 2026.
