NJ Cannabis Business Development (CBD) Application

Welcome to the Cannabis Equity Grant Program application portal.

This one-time reimbursement grant of $75,000 is designed to help licensed cannabis businesses in New Jersey offset state and local compliance as well as early-stage operational costs. The goal is to reduce financial barriers and support equitable participation in the industry. To be eligible, applicants must hold a current and valid annual license digital card issued by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission’s Office of Licensing in one of the following classes: Class 1 (Retailer), Class 2 (Manufacturer), Class 5 (Cultivator), or Class 7 (Testing Laboratory). Multi-state operators and medicinal-only licenses are not eligible. Applicants must also submit at least $75,000 in eligible expenses with full supporting documentation.

Please review all program requirements before beginning your application to ensure a smooth and timely review process. We look forward to supporting your business.
