The Green Bay Microenterprise Grant provides Green Bay, Wisconsin microenterprises with grants of up to $7,500 to expand access to capital for new and growing small businesses within the city. Administered by the City of Green Bay’s Community & Economic Development Department and funded through federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars, the program is designed for microenterprises (defined as small businesses with five or fewer employees, including the owner) and is part of the city’s broader work supporting local entrepreneurs as a founding city in the national “America the Entrepreneurial” campaign launched by Right to Start. To qualify, applicants must operate a for-profit business with five or fewer employees including the business owner, have a brick-and-mortar location (or definite plans for one), and be in good standing with City zoning, permits, licensing, and taxes.

Grant funds may be used for a wide range of business investments, including equipment, machinery, interior and exterior improvements, technology, software, signage, marketing, and lease expenses. Applications are submitted online through the City’s grant portal.
