Opportunity Information: Apply for SDVETP 2019 01
The Service Disabled Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Program (SDVETP 2019 01) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Employment, Labor and Training funding activity category (CFDA 59.044). Its purpose is to fund entrepreneurship training and related instructional support for veteran small business owners and aspiring veteran entrepreneurs, with a clear priority placed on serving service-disabled veteran entrepreneurs. The overall intent is practical and outcomes-driven: the SBA is looking for training efforts that translate into measurable economic results, including launching new businesses, expanding existing veteran-owned firms, creating or retaining jobs, and increasing income for participating entrepreneurs.
Funding is offered through a grant instrument, and the program anticipates making around 10 awards. The published award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum amount is not stated in the summary data and that applicants would need to consult the full announcement details or SBA guidance for budget expectations, allowable costs, and any limits or match requirements that may apply. The opportunity was created on July 3, 2019, with an original closing date of July 24, 2019, indicating a relatively short application window in that cycle.
Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, this means the SBA is aiming to partner with mission-driven nonprofit training providers that can deliver structured entrepreneurship education, counseling, or business development programming tailored to veterans, and specifically responsive to the needs and barriers faced by service-disabled veterans. A competitive proposal under this type of opportunity would generally be expected to outline a clear training curriculum or service model, explain how participants will be recruited and served, and describe how results will be tracked and reported in terms of business formation, business growth, employment impacts, and participant income gains, all tied back to strengthening and expanding veteran-owned small businesses.Apply for SDVETP 2019 01
