About this opportunity
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is soliciting applicants for its Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) Program through this Federal Grant Opportunity. The SBDC Program provides management counseling, training, and technical assistance to the small business community across the United States and its territories. Key requirements include delivering comprehensive small business support services through a statewide or regional SBDC network, as well as demonstrating experience in economic development and working with the small business community. The evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's ability to effectively operate an SBDC network and achieve the program's objectives. The deadline for responses is August 26, 2024.
This Federal Grant Opportunity has a wide range of possible award values, typically ranging from $100,000 to $8.3 million, with most awards falling between $700,000 and $4 million. The award period is typically 1-2 years, and the place of performance can span all 50 states, territories, and tribal areas, as the SBDC Program has recipient organizations in each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Synopsis
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Program is the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA's) largest matching grant-funded program providing quality service to the small business community. The SBDC Program has 63 Recipient Organizations - one in each state (with the exception of four regional SBDC networks in Texas and five regional networks in California), the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The Recipient Organization is responsible for establishing a Lead Center and a network of partner Service Centers to cover its designated area of service. The SBDC Program links the resources of Federal, state, and local governments with the resources of the educational community and the private sector to provide assistance to the small business community. In partnership with SBA's Office of Small Business Development Centers (OSBDC) and District Offices, SBDCs develop business counseling and training programs, informational tools, and other services that enhance the economic development goals and objectives of SBA, in their respective service areas, and their local funding partners.
