We’ll announce our 25 grant recipients and spotlight their stories to share with our community of entrepreneurs.

“We allocated funds towards growth. We are now a team of seven full time employees. We have started a new marketing department. We are launching a podcast. We are launching an internal series of training videos for all employees. We were able to acquire our first physical location for an office. We are incredibly thankful for our partnership with Jobber and all they have done to help us achieve our mission of making a positive impact.”

Branden Sewell, Seal Pro Painting, Experienced Entrepreneur Award Recipient

“The funds were instrumental in the progression of my business, I was able to afford new equipment, supplies, and I saved up enough to take my crew out for a Christmas dinner! Being able to show my employees that I want to give back to them and support them in the ways they needed was relieving.”

Meaghan McVicker, Green Clean Machine, New Entrepreneur Award Recipient

“We were able to use the funds to transition our team into a more mobile and eco-friendly unit. We rebuilt our kits into backpacks, which in turn allowed us to have our team use the city transit system and bike-share program. We used the money we saved on vehicle expenses to go into staff wages. Now our staff makes a minimum of $20/hr and we are aiming to grow that to $23/hr by Q4 this year so we can become a Living Wage Company.”

Paddy Treacy, Northern Lines, COVID-19 Support Award Recipient
