Jobber Grants
Jobber Grants is a real programme. Not a lead magnet with a prize bolted on. The 2026 round awards $250,000 to home and commercial service businesses across the US and Canada, with a $100,000 grand prize at the top.
What is on offer
2026: $250,000 total, with one $100,000 grand prize. Earlier rounds were smaller, $150,000 split across fifteen businesses. Applications are free and you do not have to be a Jobber customer in every round. Check the current terms before you spend time on it.
Yes, with the obvious caveat
It is a genuine grant programme. Named winners, press coverage, every year. It is also marketing, and a good piece of it. You are entering a competition run by a software company that would like you to become a customer. Both things are true. Neither is a reason to skip it.
What decides it
The application asks about your business, your growth and your community. The crew with a story and visible proof does better than the crew with better numbers and no story. Which is another way of saying your public reputation is part of the application.
The proof behind the application
Grant judges, lenders and customers all check the same thing first. Your Google reviews. Trophy Jar builds that count automatically off jobs you already complete in Jobber. The $9 plan includes 100 texts a month, the $19 plan 1,000, sent from your own local number. For US businesses we handle the 10DLC brand and campaign registration.
