We are thrilled to announce that applications for our second annual Amazon Business Small Business Grants are open. The deadline to apply is May 21, 2023. Small Business Grants are exclusively for Amazon Business small business customers that make less than or equal to 1 million dollars in annual revenue. Visit amazon.com/smallbusinessgrants for details and how to apply. This year Amazon Business will award over $250,000 in monetary grants in addition to other prizes to a total of 15 recipients, including 1 grand prize recipient, 4 finalists, and 10 semi-finalists. Starting June 15, Amazon Business customers will have a chance to vote for their favorite entrepreneur to receive a grant.

The Amazon Business Small Business Grants program is part of Amazon Business’ efforts to empower small businesses and their communities. It is an important way for us to give back and we recently learned more about how many small businesses are looking for them. According to research by SEM Rush, from 2018 – 2022, year over year, Google searches for the phrase “small business grants” tripled. Those three words made almost one quarter of the most frequent “small business”-related Google searches. After seeing how previous recipients were able to advance their business, we wanted to offer grants again this year and hope you apply. Good luck to all applicants! 

Grant Prizes 

Prizes include: Monetary grants ranging from $15,000 to $25,000, a 1 year Business Prime membership, and free products from eero and Kindle. Plus the grand prize recipient and finalists will receive a consultation with the Amazon Business team to discuss how to best leverage Amazon Business for their business needs.
