The California Dream Fund Grant Program is a one-time program launched by the State of California to provide microgrants up to $10,000 to seed qualifying small business creation throughout California. In order to qualify for the grant program, applicants must attend an industry-specific start-up training program, sign-up for NO-COST one-on-one advising offered through a designated Dream Fund training partner (such as our local EDC SBDC!), and obtain all necessary permits to operate legally and launch their business by making a first sale, hiring an employee, creating a business banking relationship or spending money on a qualified business expense.
