Purpose:

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.

For this opportunity, CalOSBA is seeking proposals that will provide recommendations to CalOSBA for future implementations of technical assistance programming. These recommendations will address any of the following: gaps in service in the State of California, including gaps for underserved communities, programming designed to reduce known disparities, new approaches to accessing markets and capital, and new approaches to increasing utilization of existing technical assistance and capital readiness programs 

This Announcement details four funding categories: Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEV) and ZEV Infrastructure, Creative Economy, Underserved business groups who have experienced difficulties in obtaining capital, and Neurodivergent youth (18-28) and adults
