FedEx launched its 12th annual Small Business Grants Program, offering more than $230,000 in grants and services to ten deserving small businesses across the United States. The application window opened on March 1, 2024, and will close on April 1, 2024, at 12 p.m. ET.
Interested and eligible companies can access the program guidelines and submit their applications at fedex.com/smallbusinessgrants.
One grand prize winner will receive $50,000, while nine other recipients will each receive $20,000. The Grant winners will also receive a $500 FedEx Office print credit, a $300 My FedEx Rewards certificate, and access to FedEx Premier Customer Service. They will also receive a digital consultation from the FedEx Digital Sales Solutions team, a sustainable packaging consultation from the FedEx Packaging Lab, an invitation to attend a Small Business Strategic Insights Forum, and a profile on the FedEx Small Business Center.
The 2024 FedEx Small Business Grants Program is open to FedEx customers based in the U.S. who are for-profit small businesses with 1-99 employees, have been selling a product or service for at least six months, opened a FedEx account before September 1, 2023, and currently ship with FedEx. Applicants must enter their business details, write a brief business profile, explain how they would use the Grant to improve their company, share their FedEx experience, and upload up to four images of their product or business, including their logo. In addition, they must submit a brief video describing their background as a small company owner and their interactions with FedEx.
“The success of small enterprises fuels our economy. We’re happy to give them this chance to further their contributions as they’re also giving back to their local communities,” said Aimee DiCicco, Senior Vice President of Integrated Marketing and Retail Channel Commercial FedEx. “With our grants program, FedEx has assisted small business owners in realizing their aspirations since 2012, and we are thrilled to discover who will be awarded grants this year.”
