Small start-up nonprofits may not be able to receive significant grants in the first 1-3 years after startup until they prove the viability of programs and donors.

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 include New Sun Rising, Bridgeway Capital, and Small Business Development Corporations and Entrepreneurship Programs to learn about local financial assistance.
