Did you know that 1 of every 8 companies that applies for a federal grant is endowed with one and each year the federal government sets aside more than 2 billion dollars for small business funding?
Locally (Boise), a grant-writing workshop is being held on May 18th. The course is being led by Mark Henry, a nationally recognized expert with 30 years of experience helping small, innovative companies leverage government grants and contracts. The sign up and event details are here: http://commerce.idaho.gov/business/about-the-workshop/
Additionally, if a young or growing company is curious about the process of applying for federal grants for start up or for growth funding, the Department of Commerce offers consulting at no cost. This link from the Idaho Department of Commerce is particularly helpful. Or go to federalfunding.idaho.gov
