About this program
The Small Business Administration (SBA) funds the Emerging Leaders initiative (CFDA 59.069), a free educational program for established small business owners seeking to build sustainable operations and support economic development in underserved communities, with no posted application deadline currently visible.
Emerging Leaders is structured as a seven-month advanced training series rather than a grant-funded research or project program. Eligibility is tightly defined: participants must be existing small business owners with annual revenues of at least $400,000, at least three years in business, and at least one employee other than themselves. The program explicitly excludes startups and prospective entrepreneurs. Participation is limited based on available funding, and specific criteria are detailed in the program's Statement of Work.
The source does not specify an Assistance Listing description of assistance type, recent award history, award magnitudes, or funding concentration. No grant awards, award dates, recipient names, or recent grant opportunities are reported. The program description indicates this is a training delivery mechanism rather than a competitive grant portfolio with discrete funded projects; the absence of awards data and opportunity postings suggests either that the program does not operate as a traditional grant opportunity with published NOFOs and award announcements, or that recent activity is not captured in the source material provided.
Given the absence of recent award history, opportunity postings, or award economics in the source, applicants should verify current program status, participation mechanics, and whether funding is actively available before committing business development resources to pursuit. The program's requirement for $400,000 minimum annual revenue and three-year operating history narrows the eligible applicant pool to established mid-market small businesses; those outside this profile should confirm eligibility before inquiry.
