The Small Business Technical Assistance Grant Program(“SBTA”) is dedicated to expanding access to advising services, workshop training, loans, grants, and resources for Massachusetts’ small and micro businesses, while supporting capacity building of the nonprofits who serve them. The program provides grants of up to $150,000 to certified Community Development Corporations, certified Community Financial Institutions, and other nonprofits with established community-focused small business technical assistance programs. Such programs deliver and fill gaps in essential services with the mission of building local ecosystems comprised of fellow nonprofits, neighborhood organizations, municipalities, for-profits and beyond that provide a continuum of services, supporting business creation, growth, and stabilization in our communities.
