Intuit’s Small Business Grants - Nominate a Local Business (Even Yours!)

October 27th, 2009 by Janet Thaeler

We all know it can be tough times for small businesses right now, but small businesses are key to the success of this country. One option that you can look at is ways to get business grants or assistance.

Here’s the first thing I found: Intuit is giving away money to deserving small businesses! Each month, five local businesses will be randomly selected to receive $1,000 small business grants. One of them will have their grant increased to $5,000. But hurry, the contest ends on Saturday, October 31, 2009.

To enter go to http://lovealocalbusiness.intuit.com/ and write a 250 character or fewer description of the local business you want to nominate. Here’s an example of some of the winners.

The grand prize is a $4,500 check and $500 worth of Sponsor-selected Intuit product and services. 4 small businesses will win a $500 Visa gift card and $500 worth of Sponsor-selected Intuit product and services.

If you want to find other grants, The National Institute of Small Business Grants says to check these sites:

We want to know how your small business is doing right now…are you maintaining, sliding or growing right now?
