Grants are sums of money given to help further the goals of small businesses or individuals. They can be awarded by government entities or private businesses. Unlike a loan, grants do not need to be repaid.
The Freed Fellowship Grant is a monthly $500 award given to a business owner in the US to invest in their existing business, with no strings attached and no equity required. Each grant submission is reviewed against the 5C Framework, which analyzes five key components crucial for business success: Context (why the market is favorable), Content (the compelling core narrative), Community (the community found or created), Chemistry (the unique special sauce), and Commerce (how money is made). Applicants receive feedback in the form of an overall Freed score and recommendations for business growth based on the review. Additionally, applicants receive two months of free mentoring in the virtual community, the Freed Studio. This safe and supportive space allows ambitious business owners to identify and implement the practices, processes, and systems needed for sustainable growth to reach their first (or next) $1 million in revenue. Grant recipients are also eligible for an additional end-of-year grant of $2,500.
