Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program
Our partners at Verizon have something incredible for all our friends with a small business: Verizon Small Business Digital Ready. This free resource will provide you with training, advice and other community-related content to give your small business a big-time boost. As part of Verizon's goal to support 1 million small businesses by 2030, they’re partnering with LISC to launch a new round of grant funding, open to small businesses who are active users on Small Business Digital Ready through June 30, 2022. Over the course of the year, they’ll be deploying more than $1M in total grant funding to small businesses.
In order to unlock the application for this exclusive pool of funding, members must have completed two courses or live coaching events between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and apply by June 30, 2022. You can read more about the grant requirements HERE.
