Funding Opportunity to Provide Entrepreneurship Training to Service-Disabled Veterans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON <\/strong>\u2013 Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration<\/a> announced a new funding opportunity for eligible non-profit organizations, state and local government agencies, private sector firms, and institutions of higher learning to provide entrepreneurship training to service-disabled veterans. The awarded organization(s) can use the funding to market, deliver, and scale existing service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs’ training programs for veterans, service-disabled veterans, and Reserve component members who intend to start new businesses or expand existing small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In line with the Biden-Harris Administration’s priorities, the SBA continues to work to remove barriers for service-disabled veterans who are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship after their military career,” said Larry Stubblefield, Associate Administrator for SBA’s Office of Veterans Business Development<\/strong><\/a>. “Through this funding opportunity, awarded organizations will help us extend our reach to the service-disabled veteran small business community to help them succeed at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Service Disabled Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Program (SDVTEP) award is for a base project period of 12 months, with three 12-month non-compete continuation year periods. A total of $300,000 in funding is available for this program in FY 2022. SBA anticipates making up to six (6) awards, each valued between a minimum of $50,000 up to a maximum award of $150,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
