WEBINAR: Grants – From Idea to Funded – and Tax-Equipped

The full stack: grants, nonprofit formation, credits, and exemptions – in 45 minutes.

Every business and every founder has more available to them than they realize – federal grants, state incentives, R&D credits, cost segregation, and (for nonprofits) income, property, and sales tax exemptions. Most capture one or two pieces. The rest sits on the table. This 45-minute session walks through how to claim the part of the stack that belongs to you – whether you're pursuing funding for an existing business or forming a nonprofit to unlock funding only nonprofits can reach.

What you'll walk away with

•    Why grants aren't actually about the money – and why the framing matters.

•    How entity structure (for-profit vs. 501(c)(3)) determines BOTH what funding you can access AND what tax strategies you can stack with it.

•    The full federal landscape: $4B+ in SBIR/STTR for businesses, $80B+ in foundation grants for nonprofits, plus state and federal nonprofit-eligible programs.

•    The diversification principle: why submitting 3 to 5 well-matched applications wins, and how to choose them.

•    The tax-exemption math: how income, property, and sales tax exemptions plus donor deductibility add up to tens of thousands a year in compounding value for nonprofits done right.

•    The for-profit credit stack: R&D, cost segregation, Section 179D, 45L, Work Opportunity Tax Credit, Opportunity Zones – and how these layer with grant funding.

•    Two real-world arcs: a workforce program that stacked $1.2M in grants with $180K in credits, and a literacy nonprofit that turned formation into $244K of combined year-one value.

•    The 3 things to do this week if grants, nonprofit formation, or the broader incentive stack is on your 2026 roadmap.
