FedEx hosts an annual contest to award grant funding to deserving small businesses. This is the tenth year for the contest. This year, the initial application period goes from February 10-28. Businesses with 100 employees or fewer are eligible to apply. The application process requires signing up for a FedEx account, writing a company bio, and uploading photos and videos. After that, a top 100 businesses will be selected. And a public voting period will determine the ultimate winners. A grand prize of $50,000 will go to three winners. And seven first place winners will receive $20,000, along with other prizes. All of the top 100 businesses will receive mentoring and professional consultations. Additionally, the tenth anniversary of FedEx’s grant program features more opportunities for businesses in certain niches. Winners in specific categories like Young Entrepreneur, Sustainability Focused, Healthcare, Veteran-Owned, and Minority-Owned may receive $10,000 and FedEx vouchers.
