Once you begin the Idea Leap grant application, it must be completed in one session.
The application does not save the information for you to return and finish at a later time to submit.
To prevent duplicate applications, we are providing the business narrative questions to prepare your answers before applying.
You can then copy and paste your answers into your application session.
We appreciate your interest, and good luck!
1) Tell us about your business; what do you make, sell or service do you provide?
2) Convey your passion for your business and why you leapt into entrepreneurship?
3) How do you give back to the community you predominately serve? E.g., volunteer efforts, mentoring, monetary donations, or supporting other local entrepreneurs.
4) How is your business different?
