Grant to Support and Empower Young Entrepreneurs in the U.S. in New York City (USA)
GrantID: 75385
Grant Funding Amount Low: $2,500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $2,500
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support entrepreneurs, including students and new business founders, within the United States. There are two main tracks of support. The first is a young entrepreneur / scholarship grant awarding $2,500 to a qualified student (high school or college) to help with education costs. The second is a business grant, also in the amount of $2,500, intended for adult entrepreneurs who are either launching a new business or expanding an existing one. In the latter case, the funding is meant for startup expenses, and the recipient may also receive business‐formation services as part of the award.
Individuals (not nonprofits or large corporations) are the primary target here: student applicants in the first track, and adult entrepreneurs in the second. Applicants must meet certain age or academic thresholds (for example, maintaining a minimum GPA or being of legal adult age) and typically need to be U.S. residents. The grant is only available within the U.S.
The intent of the funds is modest: covering costs tied to starting or scaling a business, such as legal incorporation, essential startup expenses, or educational support for entrepreneurial training. The added component of receiving business formation or tax consultation services helps increase the usefulness of the grant beyond just the check. Because the grants are relatively small, they’re best suited for early stage work or pilot phases—not major capital infrastructure.
This program offers a chance for individuals with entrepreneurial ambition to secure both financial aid and hands‑on support.
Eligible applicants in New York City with a demonstrated commitment to Non-Profit Support Services are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
