The National Association for the Self-Employed (NASE), the nation’s leading advocate and resource for the self-employed and micro-business community, recently announced the expansion of the association’s Growth Grant program to help small businesses across the country increase capacity and grow their company to the next level. In 2015, NASE is expanding the Growth Grant program to award over $48,000 in small business grants, an increase from the $20,000 awarded in 2014.
Since 2006, the NASE has awarded over half a million dollars to members through the Growth Grant program by providing small business grants. NASE’s Growth Grant program is intended for businesses planning to take the next step in their venture. It provides available capital for small businesses and sole proprietors to be able to hire and train additional employees, market their business in new and existing ways or invest in new equipment or software.
Applications for the NASE’s 2015 Growth Grant program are currently being accepted from now through December 10th, 2015. Applications are considered on a rolling basis throughout the year and winning small businesses will be awarded $4,000 grants monthly throughout 2015.
