FedEx has launched its second nationwide small business grant contest which will award a total of $50,000 to 10 deserving U.S. small businesses. The grand prize winner will receive a $25,000 grant, four first place winners will each receive $5,000 and five second place winners will each receive $1,000.

small businesses—for the contest, those having fewer than 100 employees—will compete for the grants by completing a profile to be voted on by Facebook users. The contest is designed for participants to promote their profiles among their own customers and fan bases throughout their social media networks to generate votes for their respective businesses. The number of votes a small business receives will boost its visibility in the contest and is one factor FedEx will consider when determining the winners.
