Empowering early-stage entrepreneurs to turn ideas into action

CORE’s Microgrant Program provides non-repayable funding to entrepreneurs who complete the Entrepreneurship 101 course,  helping remove early barriers and accelerate momentum toward sustainable business success. These grants cover essential needs like equipment, certifications, initial marketing, legal support, or early customer discovery work.

Why This Grant Matters

Many new entrepreneurs struggle to get past startup hurdles not because they lack creativity, but because they lack access to early capital. Small, flexible funding can be the difference between stuck in concept and ready to launch. CORE’s Microgrant Program fills this gap by providing fast, accessible resources tailored for early entrepreneurial growth, with no repayment required.

  • Successfully completed the free Entrepreneurship 101 course
