Simply Business and Sky's the Limit Announce Winners of Big Dreams Grant
On July 29, 2026, Simply Business and Sky's the Limit announced five winners and 20 finalists for the 2026 Big Dreams Grant. The initiative is part of Simply Business’s global effort to support small businesses through its Big Dreams Project, which aims to help 10,000 start or scale by 2030. Selected from over 6,500 applications across the U.S., these five companies were chosen for their community impact and potential for growth. The winners include BirdieBlue (VT), KneadED NEO LLC (OH), Rise & Ritual (PA), Select Auto Parts & Sales (WI), and Stereotype Co. (NY). Each winner will receive $5,000 in direct funding along with mentorship and access to tools through Sky's the Limit’s Launchpad program. The grant is designed to address common operational challenges faced by small businesses, such as administrative burdens that prevent owners from focusing on growth. The initiative also emphasizes community support as a key factor for long-term success.
