Amazon Business Celebrates Small Business Month

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – What difference can a grant make to a small business? For 2023 grant winner Sunnybrook Menagerie, an animal rescue and education camp for kids in Massachusetts, it meant the ability to save more animals from auctions and kill pens. And for GiftAMeal, an app that works alongside restaurants to fight hunger in communities across the US, the grant facilitated a national expansion – meaning every state in the country now has restaurants participating in the program.

Building on its long-standing commitment to support the small businesses that keep the world running, Amazon Business launched its annual Amazon Business Small Business Month. It includes an exciting and interactive new online resource center called Small Business Success Studio. The studio provides small businesses with free online educational tools and resources to start, run, and grow their business. As part of Small Business Month, Amazon Business also launched the 2024 Small Business Grants program that gives eligible small businesses in the U.S. the chance to win over $250,000 in monetary grants. Since the program’s launch in 2022, the company has awarded more than $475,000 in grants to 29 applicants.

This year’s grant application window is open until May 24. Click here for more information.
