Quarterly Micro Grant Application Form

Quarterly Micro Grant Application Form

Are you a new or emerging entrepreneur with a powerful vision but limited resources to get started? The McMillan Family Foundation Micro Grant is designed to help bring your business dreams to life—providing the financial support you need to take the next step toward growth and success.
Running a small business is no easy feat. From juggling day-to-day operations to securing the funding needed for growth, entrepreneurs face constant challenges—especially those without access to traditional banking relationships or equity investors. At the McMillan Family Foundation, we understand these barriers and are committed to being a part of the solution.

“We know what it’s like to dream big with limited resources. This grant is our way of giving back; of helping others take the leap, just as someone once believed in us.” - Ced McMillan, McMillan Family Foundation Chairman
