In addition to its $10,000 small business grants program, Verizon Small Business Digital Ready is for the first time this year introducing a Digital Ready Superfan Promotion.
As part of Verizon’s support of small businesses, particularly in helping entrepreneurs gain the tools and develop the skills they need to compete in today’s digital economy, the Superfan Promotion will award $25,000 in cash to three small business owners.
Verizon’s partners at LISC will identify three applicants, based on their eligibility and adherence to program guidelines, to be designated as Digital Ready Superfans. Digital Ready Superfans will receive a $25,000 grant for their small business from LISC. Verizon will invite these grantees to take part in a special small business event during February’s Super Bowl LIX Week and provide Super Bowl LIX tickets, airfare, and accommodations for the business owner and one guest.
Interested? If you have not yet joined the Digital Ready program (it’s free and easy), you can do that here. That’s your first step.
Even if you don’t secure a grant or win the Superfan promotion, joining Digital Ready is a smart investment in your future. The real value of Verizon Small Business Digital Ready lies in the tools and resources the program provides small businesses so they can thrive in today’s digital economy.
Applying for the Superfan Promotion is free, but:
