About Economic Development Grants for Nonprofits

Economic development grants support nonprofits launching job-creation initiatives, workforce training programs, community revitalization projects, and small business assistance services. The 6,404 active grants in this category are led by the Department of Commerce, which funds infrastructure improvements, entrepreneurship hubs, and regional competitiveness strategies that strengthen local economies and expand employment opportunities.

Most awards range from $215K to $550K and use competitive application processes, meaning rigorous proposal evaluation. Notably, 40% require cost-sharing arrangements, so budget planning should account for matching funds. To narrow your search, filter by support type—grants emphasizing "Capacity Building" tend to fund operational strengthening, while "Technical Assistance" grants focus on advisory services for economic planning.
