Verizon Small Business Digital Ready $10,000 National Grant

The Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Grant program, in partnership with LISC, offers $10,000 grants to eligible small businesses nationwide. Since 2021, the program has awarded $15 million in grants to small businesses. The initiative aims to equip small businesses with tools and resources to thrive in the digital economy, providing access to expert-led courses, one-on-one coaching, networking, and grant opportunities. To be eligible, applicants must be owners of for-profit small businesses based in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, and be 18 years or older. Non-profit organizations are not eligible. Owners of multiple businesses may apply for only one business. Priority is given to businesses in under-resourced, low-to-moderate income communities. Applicants must register on the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready platform and complete any combination of two eligible courses or events in 2026 to unlock the grant application. Once submitted, the application remains eligible for $10,000 grants awarded throughout the year. Applications are reviewed monthly from June through December 2026, with 10 small businesses selected each month. All applicants will receive a final decision by January 12, 2027.
