Economic development grants fund job creation, small business support, entrepreneurship programs, trade initiatives, and regional economic planning. The Economic Development Administration (EDA), Small Business Administration (SBA), and CDFI Fund support communities building diverse and resilient local economies. This category has expanded to include grants for economic recovery, supply chain resilience, and innovation-driven economic development. Key programs include EDA Public Works grants, Revolving Loan Fund grants, Build to Scale (formerly i6 Challenge), and Regional Innovation Strategies. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, economic development districts, nonprofits, universities, and tribal organizations. Award amounts range from $100,000 for planning grants to tens of millions for major public works projects. Competitive applications require comprehensive economic development strategies, job creation projections, private investment leverage ratios, and demonstration of sustainable economic impact. Organizations should emphasize how projects address economic distress, create quality jobs, and build long-term community capacity.
