The Verizon Small Business Digital Ready $10,000 National Grant Program supports small businesses in strengthening their digital capabilities and accessing financial assistance to grow in the digital economy.
The focus areas include small business development, digital skills training, entrepreneurship support, business capacity building, financial assistance, digital transformation, and access to learning resources and grant funding for for-profit enterprises.
The Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Grant is part of Verizon’s initiative to support one million small businesses by providing tools, training, and resources needed to succeed in the modern digital economy. In partnership with LISC, the program awards monthly grants to selected businesses across the United States and its territories.
The program will select 10 small businesses each month from June to December 2026, with each recipient receiving a grant of $10,000. The initiative is designed to help businesses strengthen their digital readiness while also supporting long-term economic growth and sustainability.
To be eligible, applicants must have an account on the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready platform and complete any combination of two learning activities, such as courses, virtual events, recorded sessions, or in-person events, between January 1, 2026, and December 7, 2026. Completing these requirements unlocks access to the grant application.
Eligible applicants must be for-profit businesses based in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Nonprofit organizations are not eligible to apply. Applicants must also be 18 years of age or older and able to provide proper business and financial documentation, including W-9 forms and ACH details, if selected as finalists.
The grant application can be submitted once eligibility requirements are met, and finalists are selected on a monthly basis throughout the programme period.
