Summary
An organization in the Pacific Northwest offers grant funding to nonprofit organizations and small businesses across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. One key opportunity provides microgrants ranging from approximately $4,500 to $50,000, available during select funding cycles. These funds can be used for targeted business improvements such as storefront enhancements, technology upgrades, or capacity building and are designed to support equitable access for underrepresented entrepreneurs.
Another program focuses on nonprofit business support across the same states. Grants are awarded to nonprofits that deliver training workshops, technical assistance, or financing access to microenterprises in urban communities. Individual nonprofit organizations may receive funds to help small businesses grow sustainably and equitably through capital access or education initiatives.
A separate small-business support opportunity offers microenterprise grants headquartered in Washington State. Eligible nonprofits working with small-business technical assistance can receive funding structured around a specific application window, typically lasting a few weeks. These grants support tools and resources designed to strengthen nonprofit-led assistance efforts for local entrepreneurs and often require applicants to conduct workshops or business advising programs.
Across these opportunities, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and individual entrepreneurs can apply. Preference is given to underserved groups including women, veterans, BIPOC, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ applicants. Funds are available throughout the four-state region, with the microgrant program awarding $4,500 to $50,000 per recipient per cycle and the nonprofit support grant covering program delivery costs in the urban-focused grant window. Eligibility criteria center on organizational status, location, underserved status, and capacity to deliver training or technical assistance.
Application deadlines vary: microgrant cycles open intermittently, while nonprofit support opportunities follow specific seasonal timeframes, typically opening early in the year and concluding within a month. Funding is awarded annually and organized around community development and capacity-building goals, rather than one-time project support.
Organizations and individuals based in Oregon who are engaged in Black, Indigenous, People of Color may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
