Community-funded grants & financing

We invest in stories,
not balance sheets.

Grants from $1,000 to $10,000 and zero-interest financing for the small businesses already inside the DLM Property Group community. No loan officers. No interest rates.

Read their stories. Vote to lift them up.

Each business below applied to share their story publicly. Your vote nudges decisions - it doesn't decide them. One vote per person, per business.

How decisions are made

Honest about what we weigh.

We read every story. We look for these five things, in roughly this order. Voting helps - but it never decides.

1

Your story

Who you are, what you've built.

2

Community impact

Who's better off because you exist.

3

Growth plan

A clear, achievable next step.

4

Need level

How much this support changes things.

5

Voting engagement

A small nudge, never the deciding factor.

Recipients are announced live on our Friday DLM Vendor Calls.

Grant and zero-interest loan recipients are revealed during our weekly DLM Vendor Calls, held every Friday. Join us live to hear who was selected, why, and how the funds will be used. See the schedule on Events & Webinars →

This is not a traditional funding system. It's a trust-based, community-driven way to help small businesses grow, survive, and thrive.
