There is no cost to apply.

Federal guidelines governing the grant program determine exactly which expenses are eligible for coverage and which applications are approved. The grants are capped at $15,000 per applicant. However, business owners and non-profit organizations are encouraged to submit applications that include all expenses they believe qualify for the grant.
