What types of grants are available in Maryland?

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

How do I find Maryland state government grants?

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

Are there grants for Maryland small businesses?

Yes. Maryland 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 Maryland-specific funding opportunities and application assistance.
