There are currently rural small business grants available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are accepting applications from farmers, agricultural producers and owners of rural small businesses to purchase renewable energy systems and make improvements for energy efficiency.
The Nevada Institute for Renewable Energy Commercialization, a nonprofit headquartered at Incline Village, is accepting proposals for development and commercialization of clean energy innovations. NIREC provides funding up to $100,000 for technology development and pre-commercialization activities and an additional $50,000 in business planning assistance.
The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) assists low-income Nevadans with the cost of home energy. Funding is provided from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) block grant through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and from Universal Energy Charge (UEC) monies distributed through the Nevada Fund for Energy Assistance and Conservation.
I actually found another small business grant program. These are really hard to come by, no matter what the infomercials tell you.
