CUBS Grants provide up to $800,000 in grant funds and technical support to establish regional Hub organizations that will offer a suite of baseline core services designed to help underrepresented businesses become 'business ready' to bid successfully on clean energy procurements. The Hub model is the central regional support organization in a 'Hub and Spoke' delivery model. Hubs must provide comprehensive wraparound services, establish robust cross-referral systems, address barriers faced by underrepresented businesses, tackle both supply and demand needs, and leverage existing support systems. The funding supports the expansion of services through a regional 'Hub and Spoke' model where Hubs provide baseline core services and Spoke partners offer complementary or additional services. This funding is not intended to benefit a single underrepresented business but rather supports the establishment and growth of a regional Hub and Spoke model that helps multiple underrepresented businesses grow and excel in climate-critical business sectors.
