A grant program for small business technical assistance centers in the California Technical Assistance Program Network .

Description:

The Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA) at the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) is charged with administering and providing oversight for the Technical Assistance Program (TAP) 2022 Special Grant Project.  This is a one-time Special Projects Announcement for the disbursement of a total of $543,000.00 in additional TAP funding. This announcement details four separate projects; applicants may apply for more than one funding category. This opportunity is open only to current TAP 2024-2025 grantees who also received an award during the TAP 2022-2023 award cycle.
