Amazon’s store for smart business buying, Amazon Business, is committed to the growth of small businesses. In 2022 Amazon Business launched its Small Business Grants to celebrate small businesses and entrepreneurs making an impact in communities across the U.S.
The winners received grants of up to $25,000 each and additional prizes, like an annual Business Prime membership, Ring security kits, and Amazon Web Services credits and training benefits. Amazon Business customers with an annual revenue of $1 million or less were eligible. The grand prize winner and four finalists were selected by fellow Amazon Business customers from more than 19,000 applicants.

The grant winners are inspiring innovation and driving meaningful impact in their communities. They are promoting sustainable business models and providing access to education in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math), along with music and sports. Meet the winning small business owners below, and learn how they’re making a difference.
