Funding support built for small business.

Grant money for businesses is narrower than most people expect, and the rules differ program by program. This package shows you which opportunities realistically fit your business and gets you ready to pursue them.

What’s included

Small Business Funding Package

A dedicated pathway for small businesses looking for appropriate funding opportunities beyond traditional lending.

  • Funding opportunity research
  • Business funding assessment
  • Funding strategy
  • Funding match recommendations
  • Application-readiness assessment
  • Supporting documentation checklist

Who it’s for

  • Owner-operated businesses in rural Alaska communities
  • Businesses planning an expansion, equipment purchase, or new service
  • Startups that want to know what non-loan funding may exist
  • Businesses that have been told “there are grants for that” and want a straight answer

What we’ll need from you

  • A description of the business and what you want to fund
  • Business structure, ownership, and location
  • Basic financial information (revenue range, existing financing)
  • Any opportunities you’ve already found

How it works

The process

Clear steps, clear responsibilities. We tell you what we need and when.

Many grant programs restrict or exclude for-profit businesses. We’ll tell you plainly what fits and what doesn’t; we can’t promise that a business will qualify for any particular program.
Full applications to opportunities we identify can be prepared separately at the listed federal, state, or foundation rates.
Northlight prepares and supports funding applications, but funding decisions are made by the awarding organization. No grant award or funding amount is guaranteed.
  1. Assessment

    We learn about the business, the project, and how it is owned, located, and structured — all of which affect eligibility.

  2. Research

    We look for programs, competitions, and funding sources that may fit, including options beyond grants.

  3. Strategy

    We recommend which opportunities to pursue, in what order, and what each would require.

  4. Readiness

    We help you organize application-ready business information and a checklist of supporting documents.
