Community-Driven Economic Empowerment (C-DEE) provides capacity-building funding for New Hampshire entrepreneurs to help their businesses become financially resilient and self-sufficient.
Launched in 2023, C-DEE draws on the Community Loan Fund’s experience connecting local businesses with the financing and coaching they need to thrive.
The C-DEE Grant provides capacity-building funding for New Hampshire entrepreneurs to help their businesses become financially resilient and self-sufficient.
Any entrepreneur with a company registered and in good standing with the State of New Hampshire may apply for up to $5,000. The funding can be used for computer hardware and software, and marketing including web design.
C-DEE’s Community Business Advisory Council, comprising business owners and community leaders, determines the funding recipients.
Congratulations to the 37 recipients of the 2025 C-DEE Grant. The recipients represent businesses from various sectors spanning 16 cities and towns in New Hampshire.
We are proud of the businesses that we work with. We look forward to continuing to expand our impact for NH's entrepreneurs.

I appreciate the opportunity to have access to this grant. It helped provide me technical assistance support I may not have been able to achieve this soon into my business launch.
