The United States government seems to be stepping up to help big businesses left and right with bailouts, initiatives, and other financial help. What about the small business owners?

Federal grants are given by the federal government (of course!) to many different areas of need, with one purpose and that is to stimulate productivity within the country and the world from which they are counting on reaping more profits. Instead of the government saying to themselves it is better to give than to receive, they are saying instead it is better to receive than give but the only way we are going to receive maximally is by giving first and hopefully in relatively smaller amounts.
Federal grants are given for many different things including but not limited to the following: student financial aid, research, small businesses, the arts, agriculture, health care research and provision, economic incentives, real estate investing and improvement, public housing, disaster relief, transportation, etc. There are many different ways in which they are doled out with requirements for eligibility ranging from very specific to very general to none at all.
