What can I use grants for?

Eligible Use
Written By Adalyn Lacina

Grant funds are intended to support normal business operations; also known as working capital. Funding is intended to cover a range of essential business expenses, including but not limited to:  

  • Payroll, rent, mortgage payments, and utilities  

  • Purchase new, or upgrade, business equipment  

  • Other routine operational expenses  

Grant funds, however, cannot be used for real estate or physical tenant improvements such as painting, signage, and similar upgrades. They also cannot be used for personal expenses, paying back taxes, purchasing land or buildings, or acquiring a business.
