ABOUT THE GRANT
The MIOSHA Workplace Improvement to Safety and Health (MIWISH) Grant awards Michigan employers a dollar-for-dollar matching grant of up to $5,000 to purchase safety and health-related equipment and equipment-related training. Administered by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) under the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, the program is designed to create safer, healthier workplaces and reduce the risk of injury and illness to Michigan workers. Eligible expenses include equipment such as eyewash stations, fall protection systems, machine guarding, lockout/tagout systems, noise monitoring equipment, and lifting equipment for small nursing care facilities, along with related training on the use of that equipment. To qualify, employers must have 250 or fewer employees company-wide, fall under MIOSHA jurisdiction, complete a site-specific evaluation justifying the equipment purchase, and demonstrate the knowledge and commitment to fully implement the project. The grant period begins annually on October 1, with awards made on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is exhausted. The program operates on a reimbursement basis, and grants are limited to one award per company. Preference is given to employers in high-hazard industries identified in the current MIOSHA Strategic Plan and to applications aligned with current MIOSHA emphasis programs.

Chicago Neighborhood Opportunity Fund
City of Chicago
The Chicago Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF) provides small business and cultural projects located along commercial corridors on Chicago's West, Southwest, and South Sides with capital development grants of up to $250,000 to fund permanent capital improvements. Administered by the City of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the program reimburses up to 75 percent of eligible project expenses. The fund is uniquely resourced through fees paid by downtown construction projects via the DPD's Neighborhood Opportunity Bonus program, effectively channeling downtown development activity into direct reinvestment in historically under-invested neighborhoods. Applicants may also qualify for additional funding for Technical Assistance to support project design and delivery. Eligible project types include commercial projects (such as office and retail uses), cultural projects (museums, theaters, and performance venues), nonprofit projects with an on-site commercial component, and commercial components of industrial uses. Eligible expenses include new construction, storefront buildouts, facade repair and window or door replacement, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work, roof repairs, acquisition costs (as part of a larger construction or renovation project), and soft costs such as design and technical assistance. NOF does not award grants for the construction or rehabilitation of residential uses, manufacturing uses, industrial uses, or places of worship that do not identify commercial as the primary use of a project. To qualify, projects must be located on an eligible or priority corridor within Chicago's West, Southwest, or South Side commercial areas. Applicants can confirm whether their property qualifies by contacting the NOF program directly. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through the City of Chicago's Submittable online portal and are evaluated quarterly. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to attend a grant information session before submitting materials to better understand eligibility, application requirements, and the review process. Grants exceeding $250,000 are available through DPD's separate Community Development Grant (CDG) program, which offers Medium ($300,001 to $5,000,000) and Large ($5,000,000 and above) grant tiers for more significant commercial, cultural, and mixed-use development projects.

California Paid Family Leave Grant
State of California
The California Paid Family Leave Small Business Grant provides California small businesses with grants of up to $2,000 per employee to help offset the operational costs that arise when an employee takes leave through California's Paid Family Leave (PFL) program. Grant amounts are tiered by business size: businesses with 1 to 50 employees may receive up to $2,000 per employee utilizing PFL, and businesses with 51 to 100 employees may receive up to $1,000 per employee utilizing PFL. Funded by the State of California through the Employment Training Panel (ETP) and Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA), the program is delivered through multiple community-based partner organizations that conduct outreach to California small businesses (including the CAMEO Network, which operates the current californiapfl.com application portal). Grant funds are paid directly to the employer and are intended to cover training or cross-training of existing staff to fill in for the employee on leave, hiring and training temporary or additional staff, and reasonably foreseeable recruitment, marketing, and related training costs. California's Paid Family Leave program itself allows workers to take paid leave to bond with a new child (through birth, adoption, or foster care) or to care for a seriously ill family member. To qualify, a business must have 1 to 100 employees and at least one employee who used California's Paid Family Leave program on or after the current program's qualifying start date (this date is updated with each funding round). The business must be registered to do business in California and be in active status with the California Secretary of State, and must have an active California Employer Account Number (CEAN) under which its employees are listed for payroll. Businesses that use a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) for payroll and file under the PEO's CEAN rather than their own are not eligible. As part of the application, the employer must provide the employee's EDD Customer Account Number (a 10-digit number provided directly to the employee by the EDD, distinct from a Social Security Number). Applicants may need to request this number from the employee who took leave.
