Every local business we serve is a neighbor, a community pillar, a family dream. AdIQ gives back to the small business communities that trust us — because when they win, we all win.
From quarterly cash grants to free service and first-responder discounts, AdIQ Cares is how we put our values into practice — not just our marketing.
Every quarter, we award a $2,500 no-strings-attached grant to a local business facing financial hardship — a medical crisis, a slow season, a disaster, or just a tough year. No repayment. No catch. Just belief in your comeback.
Each month, we hand-select one deserving local business for a full month of AdIQ Premier service — completely free. We spotlight their story on our social channels, in our newsletter, and across our partner network, driving real attention their way.
First responders, teachers, military veterans, and nurses give everything for their communities. When they start or run a small business, AdIQ gives back. Show us your badge, ID, or DD-214 and we'll lock in a permanent 15% discount on any plan — for life.
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.
Your information is kept strictly confidential and never sold.
These are the owners who trusted us with their stories. We're proud to have played even a small role in their journeys.
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.
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.
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.
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."
Nominations take two minutes. You don't need to own the business — neighbors, customers, employees, and community members all nominate the businesses they love. We read every single one.
