So Money with Farnoosh Torabi · Monday, September 28, 2026
Trey Baj notes a significant need for grant money, observing that government grants are less common, leading to a 'spill down' effect towards private and independent grant-giving foundations. Her own organization, Thread Needle Alley Foundation, is an example of this trend, as they self-fund grants to midlife entrepreneurs.
“You know, the the government is not giving out as many grants now.”
“So we're seeing some spill down into more independent or private grant foundations, grant-giving foundations.”
“And so I think that looking for grants can be very helpful.”
