At Skip, our mission is to support entrepreneurs with real, practical tools to grow their businesses. One way we give back is through Skip Instant Grants — $1,000 grants awarded live on YouTube, multiple times a week.
These aren’t your typical grants with long, complicated forms or months of waiting. They're quick, easy to enter, and designed to give small business owners like you a boost when you need it most.
What Are Skip Instant Grants?
Skip Instant Grants are $1,000 grants we award during live drawings on our YouTube channel. To win, just apply through your Skip Dashboard or the Instant Grants tab, then attend the live drawing.
If your business is selected during the stream, you confirm your win by commenting your unique PIN in the YouTube chat. That’s it.
It’s fast. It’s transparent. And it’s a fun way to connect with a community of entrepreneurs on the same journey as you.
Why Do We Offer Instant Grants?
We believe that entrepreneurs deserve support at every stage of their journey, and sometimes, a timely financial boost can make all the difference. By offering Instant Grants, we provide an accessible, fast, and transparent way for small business owners to secure funding.
Each grant we give is an opportunity to fuel a dream, launch a new product, or simply keep the doors open. At Skip, we are committed to creating meaningful impact by making the grant application process simple, transparent, and exciting.
How Do You Enter & Win?
Participating in a Skip Instant Grant is easy:
Apply on Skip: When an Instant Grant becomes available, it will be listed on your Skip Dashboard and on the Instant Grants tab on the Skip App. You must apply before the live drawing takes place.
Attend the Live Drawing: The drawing happens live on YouTube. We announce the winners during the stream, and to win, you need to be present! If your business and name are called, you'll have to comment your PIN in the chat. If you are unable to make a Live Drawing, you can use Grants Lock to win a portion of the grant.
Verify Your Entry with a PIN: After applying, you’ll receive a PIN number in your Skip App. If your business and name is called during the live drawing, you’ll need to enter your PIN in the YouTube comments to confirm your win.
Where Can I See My PIN?
After applying for an Instant Grant, you can find your PIN number directly in the Skip App. Look on the Dashboard, the Instant Grants tab or the My Funding tabs. This system ensures a smooth and secure process for validating winners.
What is Grants Lock?
At Skip, we know life can get busy, and sometimes you can’t make it to the live YouTube drawing for our Instant Grants. That’s why we created Grants Lock, a feature that lets you win 25% of the grant, even if you miss the live event.
When you apply for a Skip Instant Grant, you can activate Grants Lock through the Skip App. If your entry is selected but you're unable to attend the live session, Grants Lock ensures you’ll still receive $250, or 25% of the $1,000 grant.
Of course, if you attend live and verify in real time, you’ll still be eligible to win the full $1,000. Grants Lock gives you flexibility, ensuring you don’t miss out on support, even when life gets in the way!
