Verizon Small Business Digital Ready $10,000 Grant Program

Verizon Small Business Digital Ready aims to equip one million small businesses with the tools, training, and resources they need to thrive in today’s digital economy. Built with and for small businesses, the Digital Ready platform offers free, on-demand courses, expert-led coaching events, peer networking opportunities, and curated resources tailored to the real-world needs of entrepreneurs.

To complement these resources, and in recognition that access to capital is a key challenge for many small businesses, Verizon has partnered with the LISC to provide $10,000 grants to eligible small businesses Nationwide. Since 2021 LISC has awarded more than $15 million in grants through this partnership to small businesses across the country.

The grant opportunity is now open and accepting applications. LISC will award 70 small business owners with a $10,000 grant. Apply once in 2026 and you'll remain eligible for the $10,000 grants, which will be awarded throughout the year. Ten finalists will be selected each month.
