Small Business Grants

Jobber Opens Applications for 2026 Small-Business Grants

Shark Tank investor joins grant program

Jobber has opened applications for its 2026 Jobber Grants program, which will award $250,000 to home and commercial service businesses across the United States and Canada.

Now in its sixth year, the program will provide grants to nine businesses in industries such as roofing, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, cleaning and tree care. One recipient will receive a $100,000 grand prize intended to support business growth and expansion.

Entrepreneur and “Shark Tank” investor Daymond John will help select this year’s grant recipients. Winners will also be invited to an all-expenses-paid business retreat focused on leadership, operations and scaling strategies.

“Blue collar businesses are built on skill, grit and real value creation,” John said. “These owners are already creating jobs, solving real problems, and building lasting wealth in their communities.”

Sam Pillar, Jobber CEO and co-founder, said the program is designed to support service entrepreneurs beyond financial assistance.

“Jobber Grants is about more than money — it’s about fueling entrepreneurial ambition,” Pillar said. “We’re giving great people capital and mentorship that can help them grow faster and build more resilient businesses.”

Since the program launched, Jobber said it has awarded more than 100 grants totaling nearly $1 million to service businesses. Recipients have used the funding to purchase equipment, expand teams and launch new services.

A Plus Roofing & Siding, a family-owned business in Windsor, Ontario, was named one of 15 recipients of Jobber’s 2025 Grants program. The company, led by owners Vanessa Donais and Delionte Warren, will receive $10,000 to invest in operations, marketing, and safety tools. 

Applications for the 2026 program are open through June 11, with recipients expected to be announced later this year.
