Support the Scholarship Program
This scholarship is completely community-funded — powered by people who believe small businesses deserve real marketing help.
Every dollar donated goes directly toward covering branding, websites, Google setup, and content for early-stage businesses that are ready to grow but can’t afford the support.
Whether you're giving $25 or $500, you're helping a scrappy entrepreneur show up online with confidence.
Shelley’s Social Media is not a nonprofit — but this program is fully community-funded and 100% of donations go directly to marketing support.
