Questions founders ask
What non-dilutive grants and programs for bootstrapped startups with revenue are open now (November 2026)?
On 15 Nov 2026, 7 non-dilutive grants and programs for bootstrapped startups with revenue are open in this list: 6 grants and 1 fellowship; 1 of them has no closing date on the page read, and 1 takes applications at any time, with full-proposal cut-offs on fixed dates. The nearest two deadlines are 17 Nov 2026 (Tory Burch Foundation Fellows Program) and 30 Nov 2026 (Amber Grant, Freed Fellowship and Shophand $5K Small Business Boost Grant). 1 program states on its own page that no equity is taken; for the EIC Accelerator, equity is optional (grant only is possible, and the equity part is EUR 1 to 10 million); the other 5 do not mention equity, so check the terms before you apply. Each row below links to the program's own page and shows the date it was read (5 Nov 2026).
Which grants for bootstrapped startups with revenue close in November 2026?
4 programs in this list close in November 2026: Tory Burch Foundation Fellows Program on 17 Nov 2026, Amber Grant on 30 Nov 2026, Freed Fellowship on 30 Nov 2026 and Shophand $5K Small Business Boost Grant on 30 Nov 2026.
Are there programs for bootstrapped startups with no closing date on their page?
1 program in this list has no written closing date on the page read: Entreprenista Evolve Grant. A program with no date can close without notice, so read its page before you plan around it. The EIC Accelerator has no closing date either: its page says short proposals may be submitted at any time and full proposals are batched on fixed dates at 5pm Brussels time (next full-proposal cut-off 20 Jan 2027).
What this list does not tell you
It does not say whether you are eligible: many rows are limited to women-owned businesses, a country or a revenue floor, and the program's page is the rule. A grant that pays in cash may still be taxable income, which this list does not assess. "Equity: None" means the program's page says so; "Optional" means the page offers a grant-only route next to an equity part; "Not mentioned" means the page read says nothing either way, not that the program takes none. It is not legal or tax advice, and it does not replace the program's own terms or an adviser who has read them.
Left out: Hello Alice, Verizon Small Business Digital Ready, the .tech No Excuses Fund, Eureka Innowwide and NASE Growth Grants could not be read on their own pages when this list was built (blocked or no content), so they are not listed. FedEx and Visa Everywhere show no open call. NSF America's Seed Fund left the table when its invited full proposals closed on 4 Nov 2026. A closing date counts only if it is written on the program's own page; Entreprenista shows none, and the EIC Accelerator takes short proposals at any time, with full-proposal cut-offs on 20 Jan, 17 Mar, 1 Sep and 4 Nov 2027. Rows for women founders are marked in the Who and where column; the others do not limit by gender.
