Application Process
Interested applicants are invited to submit a brief essay—no longer than 1,500 words—that explains your motivation for applying and how the funds will impact your business. Submissions should be sent via email to [email protected] by November 30.
A selection committee will review all entries and select 15 finalists by December 15. These finalists will be showcased publicly, allowing community members to cast votes for their preferred projects. The top three applications, receiving the highest number of votes, will each receive a $1,000 grant by December 31.
Additional Guidelines
For detailed criteria and guidance on the application process, please refer to the official grants page: Grant Details and Guidelines.
Applicants should demonstrate a clear need for financial support and provide evidence of serious intent towards their business growth. Submissions that are vague or lack actionable plans—such as proposals simply stating a need for funding without specifics—are discouraged.
Purpose and Mission
This initiative is rooted in a desire to foster entrepreneurship and create opportunities for innovative minds. Funded by the host blog (sampriestley.com), the grants also serve as a means to expand the website’s reach, increase visibility, and improve search engine authority through community engagement.
While the primary goal is to support entrepreneurs, the initiative also aims to enhance content and community interaction. Sharing the grants with your network or mentioning this program on your platforms helps sustain and grow this collaborative effort.
Important Reminder
All finalists’ applications will be publicly available for community voting. Please ensure that any sensitive information not intended for public viewing is omitted from your submission.
