The original 2026 grant is fully allocated: The $50,000 Small Business Growth Grant — the combined retail value of in-kind website, marketing, technology, automation, and LeadRilo services for 9 Wisconsin businesses — has been fully committed. That grant was awarded through a competitive, criteria-based review with no purchase necessary.
The Website Assistance Credit is a separate opportunity: up to $2,000 toward a qualifying Tech Turtle website project. Unlike the original grant, the credit applies toward the purchase of a website — it is not cash, has no cash value, and is subject to approval and available scope. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval or the full credit amount.
Tech Turtle is privately funded and is not affiliated with the SBA, WEDC, or any government agency. Read the full Official Rules for complete terms.
