THE MONEY MOVE
$1.4M+ in February Grants Are Live Right Now
The UPS Store Small Biz Challenge and multiple
targeted funding programs are accepting
applications this month. Here is exactly how to
approach it.
|
|
|
Most minority-owned businesses never apply
for grants because they hear about them
after the deadline, or they assume they
will not qualify. That leaves millions on
the table every year.
|
|
The
UPS Store Small Biz Challenge 2026
is part of a February funding pool
totaling
$1,441,500
across programs targeting Black-owned
businesses, women founders, and
mission-driven startups. The
New Profit BUILD Investments
program is also open and specifically
funds minority and Black-owned businesses.
