The New Mexico Department of Veterans Services received a $345,000 Project Grant award from the Small Business Administration Office of Veterans Business Development under the Veterans Outreach Program (CFDA 59.044). The grant will fund entrepreneurial training, business development assistance, counseling, and management assistance to small businesses owned by eligible veterans in New Mexico from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023.

In accordance with the objectives of the Veterans Outreach Program, the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services will provide information on small business ownership and entrepreneurship to service members, military spouses, and veterans. Specifically, the Department will facilitate and instruct the U.S. Small Business Administration's "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" training course to promote veteran entrepreneurship. The place of performance is Santa Fe, New Mexico.

The small business act provides for entrepreneurial training, business development assistance, counseling, and management assistance to small business owned and controlled by eligible veterans, as well as the authority to make grants to, and enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with education institutions, private businesses, veterans' nonprofit community-based organizations, and federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies for the establishment of and implementation of outreach programs for veterans and service-disabled veterans.
