Questions about this grant

How much funding can an applicant receive?
Every award is $10,000. There is no larger or smaller amount.
Who can apply for this grant?
For-profit small businesses. Recent rounds required between five and 50 employees and annual revenue under a threshold published for each round, and recent rounds prioritized women-founded companies. Applications run through the Hello Alice grants portal.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. Recent rounds required between five and 50 employees, so a one-person business would not have met that bar, but the current round's rules are not published.

No. The program only accepts for-profit business applicants.
