What types of grants are available in Kentucky?
Kentucky organizations can access federal grants (open to all states), state government grants administered by Kentucky agencies, and private foundation grants from funders that serve Kentucky.

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

Check with your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which provides free guidance on Kentucky-specific funding opportunities and application assistance.
