Applications open July 1!

NOTE FROM THE BALSA FOUNDATION: BALSA Grant Alum, thank you for your interest in the BALSA Follow On Grant. We will be taking the Spring to revisit some of the processes at the BALSA Foundation that can ensure we can continue fulfilling our mission well into the future. With that, we will not have our Spring Application period (usually opened January 1) to focus on those efforts. We will see you July 1!

The Follow-on Grant is a $5500 cash award designed to help former BALSA Grant winners take their business to the next level.

Eligibility requirements for the Follow-on Grant

At least one year since having received the BALSA Grant
Attendance of at least 8 Learning Series Sessions
