🚨 Here’s your chance to secure $20,000 in free funding with the Small Business Hero Grant, powered by Intuit QuickBooks.

This grant isn’t just about money—it’s about recognizing the everyday heroes who keep our communities strong. Whether you’re running a small café that supports local artists or offering free community services through your shop, this grant was made for YOU.

You can nominate yourself or someone else whose small business is doing good.
No loan. No debt. Just real support to help your business thrive.

This grant is for:

  • Community-minded entrepreneurs
  • Small businesses hiring locally or giving back
  • Startups or established businesses making an impact
  • Creators, shop owners, coaches, and service providers

From the barber giving free back-to-school haircuts, to the bakery feeding first responders—this grant celebrates the heartbeat of every neighborhood: local businesses.

  • Deadline to Apply: August 14, 2025

All you need is a compelling story—how your business helps the community and what you’d do with the funding. It’s quick, simple, and worth every minute.


Why Grants Like This Matter

Small business grants are powerful because:

  • No repayment is required
  • ✅ They fund real business needs—equipment, training, staff, rent, and more
  • ✅ They’re open to both new and existing businesses
  • ✅ They recognize impact, not just profit

There are over 1,000 grants out there (yes, we’ve covered them all on our channel), but this one stands out because it uplifts local change-makers like you.

  1. It says we can nominate our own business, but when you fill it out, you must verify that you have nothing to do with the business. Can we nominate ourselves, or not?
