Purpose: The inspiration and purpose behind your business and the impact you hope to achieve both for your customers and the broader community
Differentiation: What sets your brand and products apart from others in your category

Sponsor may contact you with requests for additional information regarding your Application. Sponsor will notify Finalists by email and/or telephone by July 31,2024. Being selected as a Finalist does not guarantee you will receive an Award. Finalists will be asked to mail samples of products, at their sole expense, to the internal panel and provide copies of the business’ financial statements within five (5) days to further evaluate the Application. After review, Sponsor will notify Finalists whether they are selected as a potential Recipient. Prior to receiving the Award, potential Recipients will be required to (i) provide a W-9 tax form verifying their business tax identification number and other requested tax and banking information necessary for payment of the Grant and (ii) sign and return a grant agreement, properly executed, each within three (3) days of receipt of same. If Sponsor (i) is unable to contact the potential Recipient within three (3) days from first notification attempt, (ii) if the potential Recipient fails to promptly provide, complete and return all requested documentation by the specified date, or (iii) if the potential Recipient fails to comply with any of the requirements in these Terms and Conditions, it may result in a Recipient’s disqualification, the forfeiture of its interest in the Award, and, at Sponsor’s discretion, the presentation of the Award to a substitute recipient. An Award not claimed by a potential Recipient and not awarded to a substitute recipient by Sponsor in accordance with these Terms and Conditions will remain the property of Sponsor. All decisions of Sponsor and the review committee with respect to Finalists and Recipients, and all other matters pertaining to the Program are final and binding and cannot be appealed or challenged.

THE AWARD

Up to U.S. $200,000 of grants will be awarded to final recipients (the “Recipients”). Each Recipient will be awarded U.S. $50,000 each (the “Grant”). The Grant will be sent to each Recipient in the form of ACH wire transfer or such other mechanism as Sponsor shall choose. All federal, state and local or other tax liabilities, and other expenses relating to the acceptance of an Award, or arising from the Award, including the Grant, are the sole and exclusive responsibility of each Recipient. Recipients may be issued a 1099 tax form for the actual value of the Grant. Limit of one Grant per applicant. By applying for the Program, you agree that, if selected as a Recipient, you will use the Grant solely for legitimate business expenses and for the purposes expressed in your application.

In addition to the Grant, Recipients will also have the opportunity to participate in advisory, community and amplification initiatives, which will at minimum consist of the following: (i) an advisory partner from Sponsor’s leadership team and a monthly call with a Sponsor team member based on applicant’s expressed support interests through fall 2024, (ii) an one-on-one video call with Sponsor’s CEO, Kyle Leahy, (iii) a dedicated feature on one of Sponsor’s channels (e.g. Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Into the Gloss) highlighting the business, and (iv) monthly video calls to connect with other Recipients through fall 2024 (collectively with the “Grant”, the “Award”). Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, offer Recipients benefits in addition to the Award, such as additional advisory support, community, and amplification opportunities, but Sponsor does not guarantee, and makes no commitments to provide, any prize beyond the Award.

The Award shall be subject to the terms and condition of a grant agreement. By applying for the Program, you acknowledge that receipt of the Award is conditional on execution of the grant agreement. The Award is non-transferable and non-assignable. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase the value of any Award.
