Summary
Small, independently owned businesses in select U.S. regions can apply for a comprehensive grant package valued at approximately $5,000—alongside free marketing services, technology upgrades, creative media support, business consultation, and educational resources. This offering helps sustain and grow operations, particularly benefiting underrepresented business owners and those committed to uplifting their communities.
Application windows typically occur in May, with selected recipients notified by August. Eligible businesses must have been in operation for at least two years, employ no more than 100 people, and be located within designated cities or counties (examples include Boston, Grand Rapids, Nashville, Seattle's King County, and South Valley, Utah). Priority is given to locally owned, revenue-positive enterprises—not franchises or nonprofits.
The monetary portion offers a $5,000 grant, while additional support includes a technology makeover—such as improved internet, cybersecurity tools, and hardware—valued around $7,500. Winners also receive creative services to produce a short television commercial and secure a media schedule, estimated at $17,500. Continued access to a year of online educational content and personalized business coaching is also provided.
This opportunity is well-suited for for-profit small businesses aiming to enhance digital presence, marketing capacity, technological infrastructure, and operational strength. The support package encourages businesses to build sustainability, improve community engagement, and strengthen their competitive edge. Eligible applicants navigate an online submission portal, responding to questions about their business background, community impact, and growth aspirations.
Winners are selected based on the completeness of their application, clarity of need, contribution to local economic health, and potential to thrive. Support is delivered as a package, with recipients responsible for any associated taxes and must work through logistics like installing new services or completing media campaigns. With a focus on resilience and access, the grant fosters inclusive growth and positions small enterprises for long-term success.
