Hello everyone!


As we kick off 2024, we just wanted to take a moment to say a big THANK YOU to all of you. Your energy, dedication, and heart make our community shine!


Now, guess what? Albuquerque Business First has put together a fantastic list of small business grants, and we thought you'd love to know about them.



Here are some cool opportunities they've highlighted for the year:


  1. Hello Alice's "American Dream" Grants: If you're dreaming big for your business, check this out. You could snag a $1,000 grant and some extra spotlight on your venture. Deadline: April 30, 2024.

  2. Papaya Reusables' $10,000 Grant for Women Entrepreneurs: Ladies, this one's for you! Celebrate Women’s History Month with a chance to win this grant. Deadline: March 31, 2024.

  8. Hello Skip: Showcases grant opportunities but also offers one-on-one consulting, business plan assistance and other paid-for services and memberships.

  9. Grants.gov: a federal government website that collects and lists various grant opportunities for businesses, non-profits and local governments. Often the grants are in niche areas or targeted to specific places or technologies.

To Wrap It Up:

Let's make 2024 amazing, together! We're all in this journey, and with opportunities like these, the sky's the limit.


Cheers to a fantastic year ahead!


Warmly,
