Opportunity Information: Apply for CNP 2021 01

The Community Navigator Pilot Program is a Small Business Administration (SBA) grant opportunity created under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2, Section 5004). Its purpose is to fund organizations that can act as trusted, on-the-ground connectors for small businesses that have had trouble accessing assistance during the COVID-19 economic disruption. The program is supported by SBA's Office of Entrepreneurial Development (OED), whose broader mission is to help small businesses start, grow, and compete, largely through training, counseling, and improved access to practical resources.

At its core, the opportunity is designed to expand outreach and hands-on support to underserved small businesses. That includes microbusinesses and rural businesses, with specific emphasis on businesses owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. The intent is not simply general business education, but navigation support that helps business owners understand what is available, overcome barriers to participation, and successfully connect with relief programs and related assistance that can stabilize and sustain them through and after the pandemic-driven downturn.

This is a discretionary funding opportunity (CFDA 59.077) using a grant as the funding instrument, and it is categorized under disaster prevention and relief. SBA anticipated making about 50 awards, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000 per award. The funding opportunity was released on May 25, 2021, with an original closing date of July 12, 2021.

Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, cities or townships, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments), and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The SBA also indicates that additional entities may be eligible as described in the full announcement's eligibility clarification section. Overall, the program is structured to enable a range of public and nonprofit partners, including SBA Resource Partners, to build and deliver coordinated support that reaches small businesses that conventional channels often miss.
