About this archived opportunity

The primary goal of the CCGP is to incentivize businesses to choose California and to create quality, full-time jobs in the state. A significant priority for this grant program is to make resources available to businesses for whom a non-refundable tax credit would not provide a significant financial benefit. The CCGP was specifically created for two types of businesses: (1) businesses that continuously reinvest profits, generating either significant research and development tax credits and/or net operating losses resulting in little to no tax liability; and (2) startups with little to no tax liability. While there are no geographic or sector-specific restrictions, the purpose of the California Competes Grant Program is to attract and retain high-value employers in California in industries with high economic multipliers and that provide their employees good wages and benefits.
