A fellow entrepreneur shared this with me. I have no information on the details except that the deadline is November 15th. I hope it's useful. https://aiimpactgrant.com/

No fancy product. No paid ads at first, just a simply shopify store+dropshipping strategy with dispatchers and trucking using to folks are building online stores to balance things out, and it’s working well. the crazy part is that I get started with few hundred dollars. If you have been sleeping on dispatching only, it's time to wake up. I'm breaking down exactly how I did it, product research, store setup, marketing, everything comment "SHOPIFY" and I will send you the full guide for free

Hey everyone! 👋🏾 I’m Virginia J Boykin, and let me tell you — entrepreneurship has had me praying, praising, and pushing all at the same time. 😅 I’m the proud CEO of Next Step Counseling, a Licensed IBHS youth mental health agency here in Philadelphia. We serve children and teens with behavioral and emotional needs right in their homes, schools, and communities. In other words: we help families breathe again. 🙌🏾💙 I’ve been an entrepreneur for a little over a year now, and whew… this journey has been giving plot twists every week. From licensing, to credentialing, to building a whole clinical team — I’ve been grinding like my future depends on it (because it does). 😄 Right now, I’m hoping to get support, connections, and resources from this community — funding opportunities, partnerships, and just some good old “keep going sis” energy. I’m building something real for the kids in my city, and I’m looking for people who believe in impact AND elevation. If you’re into mental health, youth services, community work, or you just love seeing Black women win — let’s connect. 💪🏾✨ “Your next step starts with one brave decision,” and I’m taking mine boldly every day. 💙

When I started selling online, I was full of excitement. I thought all I needed was a nice-looking store and a trending product. So I jumped in, built my first Shopify store and waited for the sales to roll in. Nothing happened. I tried again with a second store, convinced I’d learned from my mistakes. But it failed too. I lost money, time, and confidence. Honestly, I almost gave up. Then I made a different move, I decided to get help. I hired someone who was already experienced in the field. Instead of guessing, I started learning. They helped me understand what I was doing wrong, my offer, my store structure, my marketing… everything started to make sense. That one decision changed everything. I rebuilt my store the right way, applied what I learned, and for the first time, I started getting real results. Looking back now, those failures were necessary. They taught me persistence, patience, and the importance of learning from people who’ve already done it. If you’re struggling right now, maybe it’s not that you’re bad at it, maybe you just need the right guidance. Because sometimes success doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from doing it right

Hey everyone 👋 I know how packed and expensive this season can get for business owners — running promos, buying inventory, managing ads, trying to stay visible… it all adds up fast. Q4 is one of the best times to grow your business, but it can also be one of the most financially demanding. That’s why I decided to do something special for the community. I’m offering 20% off my website design and marketing services, exclusively for members here. This isn’t something I usually do, but I know how much a well-designed site and solid marketing can help during this period, especially when every sale and impression counts. Think of it as my little way of giving back to a community of people who are out here building, hustling, and doing their best. If you’ve been meaning to revamp your site or step up your marketing before the year wraps up, this might be a good time to do it. Just comment “Q4” or send me a DM, and I’ll share the details with you ❤️
