Before you spend weeks writing a proposal, let’s figure out if this export grant actually fits. I’ve gone through the official guidelines—both the English version and the more detailed French one—and the eligibility gates are specific. You need to be a New York business with 500 or fewer employees in the state, at least a year of operation, and a product or service that’s at least 51% New York‑born (or you hold a local producer certification like Made in NY). Non‑profits have a separate path but must prequalify in Grants Gateway, register with the Attorney General’s Charities Bureau, and certify in VendRep before they even start the application. The tool below runs through each rule one by one, so you’ll know exactly where you stand—and if you’re close but need help with the 51% calculation or the non‑profit paperwork, that’s where our team steps in.

What the eligibility tool checks

The Grantaura eligibility tool asks ten atomic questions that mirror the official criteria. It’s not a full application, but it’s the fastest way to see if you’re wasting time. It covers location, employee count, export intent, the 51% content rule (with examples), operational history, need for assistance, understanding of export costs, and for non‑profits, the prequalification requirements. Every answer maps directly to the Empire State Development guidelines.

When to stop reading and start applying

If the tool says you’re eligible, the next step is to submit your full application—and that’s where we help. The real friction isn’t the eligibility checklist; it’s writing the narrative, structuring the budget, and documenting the 51% calculation in a way that reviewers accept. That’s what our grant experts do.

Still unsure? Talk to a real person

Some eligibility questions don’t fit neatly into a yes/no box. Maybe you’re a trade association that needs to co‑apply with a nonprofit. Maybe your 51% calculation feels fuzzy. If the tool leaves you uncertain, book a live 1‑on‑1 video or phone call with a grant expert. We’ll walk through your specific numbers, your export plan, and the prequalification steps for non‑profits.
