Who We Are, What We Do, How We Do It.

  • 1. What is Galaxy of Stars?

    Galaxy of Stars is a project by Hidden Star Resources, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports women and minority-owned businesses. We provide grants, resources, and tools to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

  • 2. Is Galaxy of Stars a legitimate organization?

    Yes! We’ve been operating for over 9 years, have been recognized by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and have helped more than 900,000 members. We’ve awarded over $420,000 in grants and are the #1 online source for women and minority-owned businesses.

  • 3. Why didn’t I receive a grant?

    While we wish we could fund every applicant, the demand is high as thousands of people apply for each grant. As a nonprofit, we distribute grants based on available funding and fairness. You can always apply again during future grant rounds.

  • 4. What is Galaxy Plus and how is it different?

    Galaxy Plus is our paid membership that gives you full access to all grants, tools, and services. It’s designed to offer a deeper level of support for small business owners ready to take the next step.

  • 5. What happens to the money from Galaxy Plus memberships?

    100% of the proceeds from Galaxy Plus go right back into supporting our community—more grants, new tools, and better services for our members.

  • 6. Why do some people think Galaxy of Stars is a scam?

    Unfortunately, with so much misinformation online, people sometimes question legitimacy. We encourage transparency and invite everyone to research our history, partners, and public grant winners. In fact, we have been audited by one of the leading internet scam detecting agencies who determined Galaxy of Stars in 100% legitimate.
