About Idea Cafes Small Business Grant

Business Owners’ Idea Cafe has a $1,000 Small Business Grant that is given out to the business owner with the most votes over three stages. The three stages are as follows:

• Stage One – The first stage of the grant process is the entry period. During this stage, small business owners can submit their applications to be reviewed by the Idea Cafe’s editors. Generally, the application dates are from the 21st of November to the 21st of January.
• Stage Two – The second stage of the grant process is where all ineligible applicants are dropped and the eligible applicants are posted online for the public to vote on. At this time, the application window will be closed and all incomplete or non-compliant entries will be dismissed. Further, at this time, you can begin voting for your favorite businesses on the Idea Cafe website.
• Stage Three – This is the final stage in receiving the grant money. The final winner is chosen by public vote, which you can go here to do. Only the top ten small businesses from the previous round make it to this stage, and only one can win.

One of the really cool things about this grant is the way it is awarded. Each person can only submit ONE vote to the company they see as most fit to receive the grant money. While it is okay to ask for votes via social media, email, friends, family, etc, it is strictly prohibited to pay for votes in any way shape or form. Breaking these rules will instantly disqualify you from the competition.

How to Apply for Idea Cafe’s Small Business Grant

The application process is quite easy, and won’t take up much of your time. Most grants of this sort require some type of essay, bio, etc., and Idea Cafe’s Small Business Grant is no different. The organization asks for 1,000 words or less in which you describe what your business dows, how you plan on utilizing the grant money, what opportunities you don’t currently have that the money would allow you to access, and, lastly, how will you pay it forward to help someone else in the future.

A really cool thing about this grant is that Idea Cafe also accepts video applications of two minutes or less. There are some additional exposure benefits when choosing to submit a video as Idea Cafe will feature your video on their Facebook page and Youtube channel. A few lucky applicants will also be featured on Idea Cafe’s homepage and blog. If you are able to submit your application in bideo form, it can give you an advantage!

About Business Owners Idea Cafe

IdeaCafe.com was created in 1995 and has been going strong ever since. It is a community where entrepreneurs, business owners, and experts in their fields can share ideas, give feedback, and ask each other questions. Back in the day, before Idea Cafe, it was more difficult to figure out who you needed to report to and pay for taxes, what government agencies you needed to register with, etc. So, Idea Cafe saw a need and filled it, creating the Idea Cafe website and several other popular business forums. Idea Cafe began pumping out content directed at business owners and allowing them to network with eachother via the website and hasn’t looked back in over 20 years!

Beyond just the grant, Idea Cafe and their extensive network of like-minded business owners are a great addition to the business community. You will find people of all walks of life and business types there. An added bonus to applying for this grant is that you can influence the voting by getting your personal community of friends, family, and fans to vote for you, helping you get an extra leg up during the public voting stage.
