Numerous grant opportunities are available from state agencies

If you are seeking to open a business or to operate a non profit, there are numerous grants available to make your dreams a reality.

The North Carolina state government website nc.gov launched a searchable resource that lists in one place for the first time over 80 opportunities for grants from state agencies. Users can search by keyword or category and can export the data into a spreadsheet.

The website includes links to grant programs across NC state government agencies. If you plan to apply for a grant and you have questions about any of the grant programs listed, contact the agency that oversees that program.
