Apply now for an ActivityHero Business Grant!

Cash and prizes will be awarded to kids' activity providers in our summer contest

We frequently hear from Bay Area small business owners that it's a struggle even to stay afloat in the current economic climate. That's why, this summer, we launched a Business Grant Contest that's exclusively for kids' activity providers, like camps and after-school classes.

ActivityHero is an online marketplace linking kids' activity providers with 2.5 million families looking for after-school classes, summer camps, and support for nights out. We know that many owners of children's camps and classes work incredibly hard to help families and make a real difference in their community. But it can be a challenge to own and run a successful business in Fremont, and difficult to grow. That's why we're so excited to share this opportunity for small businesses to "think big".

This summer ActivityHero and 3 co-sponsors (GoDaddy Website Builder, 4Imprint, and PsPrint) will award $15,000 in cash and prizes exclusively for kids' camp & activity providers. It's easy to enter – answer a few questions, then share your free ActivityHero business listing page with your customers and friends to ask for votes and customer reviews. The more votes and reviews you have, the greater your chances of winning. We recently announced the names of our May finalists but there are still two more drawings to go, at the end of June and the end of July. The top 2 prize winners will be announced on August 15, 2018. The sooner you apply the more chances you have to win. Apply now at http://activityhero.com/go/grant.
