Start-up nonprofits typically receive limited grants in the initial 1-3 years until they develop general fundraising capacity and prove program viability.

We have received many requests from small business owners expecting start-up grants. The majority of grants are given to 501(c)3 public nonprofits, not to individuals for private benefit. Heart Resources, LLC does not actively track or work on grants that fund the start-up costs of a personal business. If your small business is located in Pittsburgh, PA, it is suggested that you begin by contacting your local bank to apply for a low-interest line of credit. Other options for financial assistance include New Sun Rising, Bridgeway Capital, University and Nonprofit Small Business Development Corporations and Entrepreneurship Programs.
