$1,000 Grant For Upstate New York and Denver Creators (Deadline: June 30, 2026)
Funding for bold business ideas.
When it comes to grant funding, June has been surprising in the best way.
We are finding more opportunities daily, and our small team is doing our best to get them out to you as quickly as possible.
But first a quick note about an upcoming resource…
Free Workshop — Register Before June 25th
What if buyers came to you without chasing, pitching, or posting every day?
Nina Clapperton built her blog to 243,000 monthly page views and now runs her business in just 5–10 hours a week by letting SEO do the heavy lifting.
Nina is sharing exactly how she did it in a FREE live workshop:
How I Work 10 Hours a Week and Still Make Consistent Sales
📅 Wednesday, June 25th at 10 am EST — Free to attend
This is the foundation of Nina's entire strategy, and it works while you sleep, travel, or do literally anything else.
Today we’re back in your inbox with a $1,000 microgrant (or what they call “belief capital”) to back founders before they’re “ready.”
