Summary
There are a few grant opportunities currently available to support businesses looking to grow or expand their reach beyond their local market. These grants are primarily focused on businesses operating within a specific Mid-Atlantic state and are intended to support economic development through international trade and business growth initiatives. While the funding is not available to nonprofit organizations or individuals, small, for-profit businesses that are based and actively operating in the state may qualify.
These grants are offered on an annual basis and are designed to help cover the costs associated with entering or expanding into global markets. Eligible businesses can use the funds for purposes such as international marketing, trade show participation, translation of materials, compliance testing, or developing a website suitable for international audiences. There is also support available for activities like travel related to business development in foreign countries or attending industry exhibitions.
One of the opportunities offers up to $10,000 per year, covering up to half of eligible marketing or export-related expenses. Another program provides as much as $7,000 in reimbursable support for international outreach, with similar cost-sharing structures. A third opportunity is available through a competitive application process and is designed for early-stage businesses pursuing strategic growth. Funding from this program can range up to $100,000, depending on the type of business and project needs, with a matching contribution required from the business itself.
All of these grants aim to help qualified businesses become more competitive in the global marketplace and are tailored to support small enterprises that are either export-ready or actively working toward entering international markets. While limited to businesses operating in one U.S. state, these programs offer a strong opportunity for businesses that meet eligibility to scale their operations beyond domestic borders.
Eligible applicants in Delaware with a demonstrated commitment to Small Business are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
