About this event
If you’ve been searching for grants or other funding and still feel unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. Many business owners assume grants are widely available, only to find out they’re highly competitive, limited and often harder to secure than expected.
Join Cheryl Smith, CEO of Dewlyn Nonprofit Services, for a practical webinar designed to help you understand what opportunities are available, where to find them, and how to strategically pursue them.
With over 25 years of experience, Cheryl has helped thousands of nonprofit and small business leaders navigate funding and prepare stronger, more competitive applications. In this session, she’ll show you how to navigate the funding process, determine whether your business is ready, and take steps to become more competitive.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to find legitimate small business grants, sponsorships, and funding databases
- What it means to be “grant-ready” and how to determine your eligibility
- How to prepare for different types of funding beyond just grants
- Key documents funders expect and how to get them ready
This webinar is part of the National Small Business Week Learning Lab, happening May 6-7, 2026, featuring free educational content, mentor connections, and a community of entrepreneurs.
