About this file
This document is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) Cybersecurity for Small Business Pilot Program (CFDA 59.079). The purpose of this funding opportunity is to invite proposals from state government entities (excluding Ohio, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Virginia, and Wyoming) to carry out projects that help new small business concerns with tools to combat cybersecurity threats.
The NOFO details that in 2023, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center received a record number of complaints from the American public, with potential losses exceeding $12.5 billion. Small businesses are attractive targets due to their vulnerability and lack of security infrastructure. The Consolidated Appropriations Acts of 2022, 2023, and 2024 authorized the SBA to make grants to states for this program. The expected number of awards is 3, with a funding floor of $1,000,000 and a ceiling of $1,045,000. The application deadline is August 2, 2024, and a Governor's designation letter is required with the application.

CLOSING DATE: August 2, 2024
In 2023, FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received a record number of complaints from the American public: 880,418 complaints were registered, with potential losses exceeding $12.5 billion. This is a nearly 10% increase in complaints received, and it represents a 22% increase in losses suffered, compared to 2022. Small businesses are attractive targets because they have information that cybercriminals want, and they typically lack the security infrastructure of larger businesses. Surveys have shown that many small business owners feel their businesses are vulnerable to a cyberattack. Yet many businesses cannot afford professional IT solutions, have limited time to devote to cybersecurity, or do not know where to begin. The Consolidated
Appropriations Acts, 2022, 2023 and 2024, authorized the U.S. Small Business
Administration to make grants to States, and the equivalent thereof, to carry out projects that help new small business concerns with tools to combat cybersecurity threats during their formative and most vulnerable years.
