All RebelForge clients can apply to receive a micro-grant, which is awarded after a case-by-case review. To apply for the micro-grant, clients can submit the following to their RebelForge advisor:

1) A 2-3 page grant proposal consisting of a detailed business model, marketing strategy (target audience and how you plan reach them), and how this grant will impact your business (what you will specifically use it for and the tangible impact it will have on your business/the community)

2) Future financial projections to show the potential performance of your business OR past financial statements to show the financial health of your business 

Your RebelForge advisor will ensure that your submission is ready for the grant committee by actively providing assistance and guidance in finishing the grant proposal and/or the financial projections until the submission covers all the necessary areas. Once the submission is primed and ready, your case will then be reviewed by the grant committee for approval.
