Indiana Grants

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of grants are available in Indiana?

Indiana organizations can access federal grants (open to all states), state government grants administered by Indiana agencies, and private foundation grants from funders that serve Indiana. Common grant areas include education, community development, health services, arts, and small business support.

How do I find Indiana state government grants?

Start with your state's grants portal and major agencies. Most Indiana state grants are posted on the state government website or Grants.gov for federal pass-through programs. Contact your Indiana legislators' offices for guidance on state-specific programs, as they often know about funding that isn't widely advertised.

Are there grants for Indiana small businesses?

Yes. Indiana small businesses can access SBA federal programs, state economic development grants, and local business assistance programs. Check with your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which provides free guidance on Indiana-specific funding opportunities and application assistance.
