About this opportunity

This Federal Grant Opportunity is a cooperative agreement from the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide entrepreneurship training, business development assistance, counseling, and management support services to small businesses owned and controlled by eligible veterans, service-disabled veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses. The opportunity aims to support veteran entrepreneurship through targeted educational programs, technical assistance, and access to capital resources. Key requirements include being a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and delivering the SBA's "Introduction to Entrepreneurship" curriculum. Applications are due by April 11, 2025.

The Federal Grant Program typically awards project grants and cooperative agreements ranging from $50,000 to $1,100,000, with one-year performance periods from May 1 to April 30 or September 1 to August 31. Recent opportunities have targeted specific segments such as women veterans and service-disabled veterans. The place of performance is not specified, but the program focuses on supporting veteran-owned small businesses nationwide.
