This is a small members-only grant from the National Association for the Self-Employed: up to $4,000 toward one specific business need like equipment, hiring, or expansion. It only makes sense if you are already a NASE member or willing to become one, and if $4,000 actually moves the needle for you. Nonprofits should not bother applying, and businesses that need more than $4,000 or cannot articulate a single concrete use for the money will waste their time.
