    Details

    Square Financial Services, Inc. and Square Banking are investing where traditional banks don’t. The Cornerstone Grant offers more than just money — it provides mentorship, visibility, and resources for small business owners who face barriers to funding. Four winners will receive a $10,000 grant, one year of financial guidance, and features across Square’s platforms.

    Here’s how it works:

    • Submit your application by September 30, 2025
    • A panel will evaluate all applications
    • Grant recipients will be announced in November 2025 via email and press release

    Winners will receive:

    • A $10,000 grant to grow, upgrade, or launch new ideas
    • A year of mentorship from Keila Hill-Trawick (Top 200 Forbes CPA) and Aja Evans (Board-Certified Therapist & Author)
    • Additional visibility through Square newsletters (reaching 1M+), social media, and The Bottom Line

    Eligibility Requirements:

    • Current Square seller with at least 6 months of ongoing transactions
    • US-based business with fewer than 20 employees
    • Must qualify as a small business under SBA guidance with annual revenue under $2M
    • Applicants must be legal US residents
    • Business must not be in bankruptcy or named as a defendant in an active lawsuit

    Deadline: September 30, 2025
