Petaluma, Calif. – Friday the Obama Administration set a rule change in motion to eliminate federal contracting programs for minority-owned small businesses. A shocking move since, in the midst of one of the worst recessions in U.S. history, unemployment has hit minority groups especially hard. According the U.S. labor department, the jobless figure for African Americans is almost twice that of overall unemployment (16.7 percent).

The proposed rule change is aimed at ending federal programs that establish, for the Department of Defense (DOD), NASA and the U.S. Coast Guard, a five percent federal contracting goal with small socially and economically disadvantaged businesses.

Around 35 percent of the U.S. population is made up of ethnic minorities, and 5.8 million businesses are minority-owned. The American Small Business League (ASBL) estimates that if the policy is implemented, minority-owned small businesses could lose close to $50 billion in federal contracts annually, which could lead to the loss of millions of jobs.

This is the latest in several instances of abuse of federal small business contracting programs. In addition to attempts to eliminate minority-owned federal contracting programs, the Obama Administration has been criticized for diverting billions of dollars a month in federal small business contracts to Fortune 500 firms and other large businesses worldwide. Some large companies that have received federal small business contracts include Lockheed Martin, British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and Italian defense giant Finmeccanica SpA.

There are tons of financial assistance programs available to entrepreneurs and business owners in the United States. Eligibility varies, but there are enough opportunities for everyone to pursue. You just have to be diligent, persistent, and consistent in your quest. Below, you will find 10 great suggestions on how to apply for and obtain small business grants.

1) Check With Your Local Government Agencies. Many cities, counties, and states give away money to local businesses. Why? Because they want you to create jobs and more tax revenue. Many times they won’t highly publicize these opportunities, but it’s in your best interest to give them a call and/or search their web sites.

2) Check With Federal Government Agencies. The federal government doesn’t give business grants directly to businesses, but they do give money to foundations who in turn can give money to small businesses. The federal agency in charge of this is the Grants Program Management Office, and all of their opportunities are listed publicly at http://www.businessstartupgrants.info
