The Working Lands Enterprise Initiative (WLEI) offers grants that support forest, farm, and food businesses. Grants also go to producer associations, business assistance provider organizations, and more. The state's annual budget process decides the amount of funds available each year. The Working Lands Enterprise Board (WLEB) meets each summer to decide which grants to offer for the coming year based on available funds and needs across Vermont. This is an annual program that opens in September yearly. The program typically awards $10,000 to $100,000 to businesses in Vermont to fund market development, research and development, infrastructure, energy, or workforce development projects.

The Entreprenista Evolve Grant is a quarterly $5,000 grant for U.S.-based, woman-owned or woman-led businesses that have moved past the earliest stages of launch and are ready to invest in their next phase of growth. Administered by Entreprenista, a women-focused founder community co-founded by Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer, the grant is awarded in partnership with IT Cosmetics, a women-founded makeup and skincare brand. The program is intentionally designed to provide non-dilutive funding (no equity, no loan, no debt) to help founders access resources at a stage of growth where capital constraints often slow momentum. Grant funds are typically applied toward growth-critical investments that founders often delay when cash flow is tight, strengthening the foundation of the business during a pivotal stage of growth, moving forward with plans that are already proven rather than waiting for the right time, and relieving some of the personal financial pressure that founders quietly carry while scaling. The grant is awarded on a quarterly cycle, with new application windows opening throughout the year. To qualify, applicants must operate a U.S.-based business that is woman-owned or woman-led, generating at least $100,000 in annual revenue, and operating for at least one year at the time of application. Previous Entreprenista Evolve Grant recipients are not eligible to reapply.
