Get a $25,000 Small Business Grant… and a trip to the Super Bowl

In addition to the $10,000 Small Business Grant Program, Verizon Digital Ready for Small Business is introducing the Digital Ready Superfan promotion for the first time this 12 months.

As a part of Verizon’s support for small businesses, particularly by 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 money to three small business owners.

Verizon partners at LISC will select three candidates, based on their qualifications and compliance with program guidelines, to be designated as Digital Ready Superfans. Digital Ready superfans will receive a $25,000 grant from LISC for their small business. Verizon will invite these grantees to participate in a special small business event during Super Bowl LIX week in February and provide Super Bowl LIX tickets, airfare and accommodations for the business owner and one guest.

Interested? If you have not joined the Digital Ready program yet (it’s free and easy), you’ll be able to do it here. This is your first step.

Even if you do not win the grant or Superfan promotion, joining Digital Ready is a smart investment in your future.
