Grant Application

Tell Us Your Story.
We Want to Help.

We review every application personally — no algorithms, no automated rejections. Our team reads each submission and evaluates based on community impact, financial need, and how AdIQ's services could meaningfully move the needle for your business.

Applications are open year-round. Quarterly winners are selected in March, June, September, and December. All applicants are notified of the decision, and strong applications that aren't selected are automatically considered for the following quarter.

No AdIQ subscription required. The grant program is open to any small business in the United States — whether you're a current client or have never heard of us before today.

SB
Sunrise Bakery & Cafe
Bakery Phoenix, AZ 6 employees
$2,500
Grant Awarded

After a burst pipe flooded their prep kitchen in January, Maria and her team lost three months of revenue while repairs dragged on. They used the grant to fund Google Ads targeting "bakery near me" in Phoenix — and saw their daily order count climb back to pre-flood levels within six weeks.

"I cried when I got the email. We were two months from closing. This gave us the runway to fight back, and fight back we did. Our Saturday line is out the door again."
Q1 2026 Grant Recipient
HP
Heritage Painting Co.
Home Services Nashville, TN Owner-operated
$2,500
Grant Awarded

Marcus started Heritage Painting after leaving the Army in 2023. A vehicle accident took out his only work truck right as spring season was kicking off. He couldn't bid jobs without transportation and had no savings to replace it. The grant covered the down payment on a used van, and Marcus has been booked solid ever since.

"Being a veteran, I'm used to figuring things out on my own. This was the first time someone just said 'we've got you.' It meant more than the money."
Q4 2025 Grant Recipient
RC
Roots & Crown Salon
Beauty & Wellness Atlanta, GA 4 stylists
$2,500
Grant Awarded

Yvonne opened Roots & Crown in 2021 specializing in natural hair care for Black women in Atlanta. A broken HVAC unit in August — during Georgia's hottest summer on record — forced her to close for three weeks. The grant covered repairs and funded a social media push that brought her 140 new bookings in a single month.

"The community I serve deserves a comfortable, beautiful space. AdIQ helped me keep the doors open when the universe tested me hardest. I'll never forget it."
Q3 2025 Grant Recipient
BT
Blue Tide Aquatics
Recreation / Lessons San Diego, CA 8 instructors
$2,500
Grant Awarded

Jason and his wife Rosa built Blue Tide to give underserved kids access to swim lessons at prices families could actually afford. A pool closure for safety repairs cut their revenue in half for two months. The grant kept their instructor team paid during the gap and funded the Google Maps optimization that now puts them in the top 3 for "swim lessons San Diego."

"Drowning is preventable. That's why we do this. AdIQ understood that mission instantly — and then they actually backed it. We went from hanging on to our busiest summer ever."
