Jobber Grants
I've been asked to apply for a Jobber grant several times. Are there any past recipients willing to share their experience? What are the criteria for winning a grant? What is the award process? What was your award amount?

i think it would be a great opportunity for any one with the drive to succeed. and in the wake of the acceptance process i be leave that most ppl will naturally boost there own ability's within there given industry with just the hopes of being awarded such a blessing. I know i have been focusing in on back burner items since my first entree. So with that, I wish you all the best of luck on winning! Cheers
Me too, I am wondering what is the processing time, an how many they are looking for ..
In phase two now! I’ll let you know in August!
I completed my Phase 2 application! Hopeful for the award. it couldn't come at a better time, as I am working toward buying out my investors and taking on 100% ownership.
The ability to control my team's future and break the chains that limit growth would be an incredible opportunity.
Thanks, crboyd07! That makes a lot of sense. It seems like they're looking for people who are already putting in the work and building something meaningful, but could use a little support to help take things to the next level.
If you genuinely want someone to succeed, you don't just hand them resources. You help make sure they're prepared to use them well and take advantage of the opportunities available to them. That's one of the things I've appreciated most about this community so far.
I'm grateful for the opportunity and wishing everyone the best of luck.
2024 Winner & 2026 Hopeful here! We even got to talk with Daymond John #sharktank & Jobber about it earlier this year.
crboyd07 - Absolutely! Why would you not apply for money you're not budgeting to receive, so if you win you can take your business to the next level? My experience is that the Jobber Team is great to work with and sincerely care about helping your business (and theirs) succeed. Just gotta keep in mind that everyone's out to make their business successful (including Jobber) so you a partnership mentality is key!
Best of luck to everyone applying this year! 💪☘️
Thank you for letting us know you were awarded funding 2024. Can you shed some light on the award process? Also, what amount did you receive? Can you tell us about the on-site event? I think everyone is looking for real answers. I'm glad you had a positive experience; we are looking for insight and information.
Sorry for the tardy reply... I never saw a notification. We won $10K and at the time there was no on-site event. The process was several rounds of written questions/answers, a 60 second video submission, and a final call. I am unsure how it's changed since. They're really upping their game this year with the addition of the event, etc. Sadly, we weren't selected. Will be trying again next year. Cheers!
I'm also wondering and I was just offered to apply - I applied - and now I am in phase 2. Just wondering what everyone's experience is with it. Has anyone actually gotten a grant?
It would be a very sad thing if we all went through the time and effort, just to find out it's BS, that's for sure.
Haven't won yet, but I've made it to phase two this year, here's hoping! They obviously ask a lot of questions that seem redundant, but they are all slightly different, getting your take on the business, how you are running it, how you want to run it, what you would do with the money, and how big an impact it would make. They basically need to get to know your business and you before actually meeting and awarding something. There's no harm in applying for a Grant! It can only benefit you, don't get your hopes up; just keep trying! There are a lot of people who use Jobber! But that doesn't mean it's impossible to win.
What is this in person event they are reffering to?
That's unclear, but if I had to guess it seems like a sales presentation or opportunity to create marketing material.
