Are you a business owner searching for funding that doesn’t require repayment? While federal grants from Grants.govoften get the spotlight, local and state governments across the U.S. regularly offer small business grants that are often easier to access and more targeted to regional priorities.
At GovDirections and RFPDelivery.com, we help businesses identify these hidden grant opportunities that may be the perfect fit for your company’s next project or growth initiative.
Unlike federal programs, local and state grants are often:
Less competitive
Region-specific
Aligned with local economic development goals
Tailored to industries such as construction, education, cultural programs, or environmental services
These programs can support everything from technical training, workforce development, and internships to construction management, disaster recovery, conservation, and transportation services.
Here are some active local and state grant opportunities currently available:
State of Washington
Deadline: 08/18/2025
Supports development of leadership training for superintendents, principals, and administrators.
Richmond, California
Deadline: 08/18/2025
Up to $1 million available to support legal services and awareness campaigns.
Los Angeles, California

Manatee County, Florida
Deadline: 08/27/2025

While local grants are often more accessible, don’t overlook federal grant opportunities available at Grants.gov, such as:
Community Assistance Program (CAP-SSSE) for floodplain management (FEMA)
Multistate Conservation Grant Program for wildlife restoration
Victims of Crime Grant Programs for technology services and victim outreach
Grants for Transportation in Rural Areas (Veterans Affairs)
These grants require more preparation but can result in substantial funding for qualified applicants.
Many grant opportunities go unclaimed simply because small businesses don’t know how or where to apply—or they struggle to prepare a compelling application or narrative.
