Shawnee Forward
ABOUT THE GRANT
The Shawnee Forward Business Growth Grant provides Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma small businesses with 50/50 matching reimbursement grants of up to $20,000 to help fund expansion projects that create new full-time jobs. Administered by Shawnee Forward, the community and economic development organization serving Shawnee and Pottawatomie County, the program is funded through Shawnee Forward investment earnings and partner support. Its purpose is to encourage capital investment that strengthens existing businesses, expands operations, and grows the local economy. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until annual funding is exhausted.
Eligible projects include building renovations or expansions, machinery, equipment, or technology purchases, infrastructure improvements, training tied to new jobs, and professional services directly related to the project. Grant funds are limited to approved capital investments and may not be used for payroll, rent, utilities, inventory, working capital, or other operating expenses. Grants may be combined with other funding sources, provided there is no duplication of reimbursement. Expenses incurred before grant approval are not eligible.
To qualify, applicants must be a for-profit business located in Pottawatomie County with 50 or fewer full-time employees (both startups and existing businesses are eligible), demonstrate the financial capacity to complete the project, and be current on taxes, licenses, and insurance. The project must create net new full-time jobs before reimbursement is issued. Businesses are limited to one grant. The application process requires a completed application, a project narrative and timeline, a project budget with quotes, and matching funds documentation. Applications are reviewed and scored by Shawnee Forward staff and recommended to the Board for approval, after which a grant agreement is executed. Reimbursement is issued only after the project is completed, documentation is submitted, and eligible expenses and job creation are verified.

KY SBIR/STTR Matching Grant
Kentucky Innovation
KY Innovation offers comprehensive programs to help companies apply for, win and match federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants and contracts.

KY Innovation can be a key partner in helping you compete. Innovators that receive SBIR or STTR awards can benefit from additional funding to bridge the gap between Phase I and Phase II, as well as to speed up the commercialization process. The Kentucky SBIR/STTR Matching Funds Award Program is a non-dilutive, reimbursable grant, awarded on a competitive basis. The grant will match up to $100,000 for a Phase I project, and up to $150,000 for a phase two project.
