Adjusted median income for small business grants

Follow these steps to understand your eligibility

1. Check income requirements for the grant you want to apply to.

Each small business grant has different income rules. Check the requirements for each grant you want to apply to. 

2. Count how many people are in your family.

A family is a single person or a group of people who live together, regardless of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.
