Grant Awarded to Draw Businesses to Stay in California
The California Competes Grant Program (CCGP) is available to businesses that want to locate in California or stay and grow in California and create quality, full-time jobs in California that might not otherwise be created by the business or any other business. Grant agreements will be negotiated by GO-Biz and approved by a statutorily created “California Competes Tax Credit Committee,” consisting of the State Treasurer, the Director of the Department of Finance, the Director of GO-Biz, and one appointee each by the Speaker of the Assembly and Senate Committee on Rules.
Eligibility
In order to be eligible to apply, a business must commit to at least one of the following criteria:
1. Create at least 500 new, full-time jobs in California, or
2. Invest at least $10 million in facility construction/renovation, or
3. Create the jobs or make the investments in an area of high unemployment and/or high poverty as defined by the California Competes regulations
Additionally, GO-Biz is required by statute to consider the extent to which the grant will influence the applicant’s ability, willingness, or both, to create new, full-time jobs in this state that might not otherwise be created in the state by the applicant or any other California business.
Program Funding Amounts
A total of $120,000,000 in California Competes Grant funds are available for allocation in the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The maximum grant award is $36 million. Applicants using the CCG to secure CHIPS funding will be given priority and aren’t subject to the maximum grant award allotment.
CCGP application windows for 2024: January 2 – 22, March 4 – 18
