About: The Galaxy Grant is a dedicated funding opportunity designed specifically to support women and minority entrepreneurs across the United States. With a clear mission to empower underrepresented business owners, this grant provides essential capital that can transform small businesses at critical growth stages.
Hidden Star, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization behind this initiative, brings over 8 years of experience supporting the women and minority-owned business community. Each application cycle, they select qualified entrepreneurs to receive grants that typically range from $1,250 to $4,250, with the current opportunity offering $3,500 in direct funding.
What sets the Galaxy Grant apart is its straightforward application process. Unlike many grant opportunities that require extensive documentation and business plans, the Galaxy Grant application takes just 5 to 10 minutes to complete. This streamlined approach removes unnecessary barriers that often prevent busy entrepreneurs from accessing funding opportunities.
The Galaxy of Stars community extends far beyond simply distributing grants. With over 600,000 members nationwide, successful applicants gain access to a vibrant network of fellow entrepreneurs, invaluable resources, and ongoing support. Previous winners have used their funding for various business needs including purchasing equipment, renovating showrooms, improving operational efficiency, and expanding services.
While the application process is simple, winning a competitive grant requires strategic preparation. Grantaura‘s expert team can help strengthen your application by conducting targeted grant research, preparing compelling documentation, and handling the submission process on your behalf. Our comprehensive services ensure you present the strongest possible case for why your business deserves funding.
