CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Only select applicants receive the $5,000 grant — the page names just three finalists by name.
The program is competitive and grant awards are explicitly described as going to select certified suppliers. The broader program benefits (education modules, funder matchmaking) appear available to more participants than the grant itself.
WHAT IT TAKES
Confirm eligibility: verify your certification, NY headquarters, B2B/B2G model, and revenue range — 1–2 hours
Submit application via the program portal — 1–3 hours
Complete funding readiness modules and attend funder matchmaking sessions — Ongoing after acceptance
WORTH KNOWING
Even if you don't receive the $5,000 grant, the program connects you with mission-driven VCs, CDFIs, and alternative lenders through matchmaking — making it worth applying for the access alone.
