Delaware EDGE Grants

The Workbar Small Business Grant Contest is an annual contest that awards a $5,000 cash grant and free coworking memberships to Massachusetts-based small businesses. Run by Workbar, a Greater Boston coworking network, the program has been operating since 2021. One Grand Prize winner receives the $5,000 grant plus a one-year free Unlimited coworking membership; two Runner-Ups each receive a 6-month free Unlimited coworking membership; and the Top 10 Finalists each receive a 3-month Unlimited coworking membership. Applicants submit a short form sharing their business story and how they would use the funds, and a panel of judges including Workbar's CEO and outside entrepreneurs selects the winners.

Local businesses can receive up to $50,000 for physical improvements to their business, with specific restrictions varying based on the program selected.

The Hey Helen Grant is a privately funded initiative by Visionaries that invests in women entrepreneurs building impact-driven, for-profit businesses in the U.S. Each grant cycle, one founder will receive a $10,000 unrestricted cash award — designed to fuel whatever moves your business forward, whether that’s operations, growth, marketing, hiring, or infrastructure. Grant cycles close at the end of April, August, and December. This grant is open to businesses that are 100% women-owned, generate less than $1M in annual revenue, and are legally registered in the United States. Nonbinary applicants assigned female at birth or who feel aligned with the intent of the grant are also welcome to apply. If you’re building something with purpose, grit, and integrity — and just need a little extra backing to take the next leap — you’re in the right place.
