True Reach Media Group has been selected as a recipient of a 2026 Verizon Small Business Digital Ready grant, administered by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation with support from Verizon.
The company was selected from a nationwide applicant pool. The 2026 program will support 70 small businesses in total, with 10 recipients selected each month from June through December. Digital Ready grant program (opens in a new tab)
The grant is intended to support TRMG’s continued sustainability and growth, giving the company additional resources to strengthen its foundation and invest strategically in its next stage.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because TRMG is still in the early chapters of its story. It gives us the ability to invest more intentionally in growth while continuing to build a company rooted in strong strategy, useful work and measurable impact. We’re deeply grateful to Verizon and LISC for believing in what we’re building.”
TRMG plans to focus the support across three primary areas: strengthening its sales and business-development capacity, expanding targeted marketing efforts, and creating new opportunities to connect with prospective clients and partners through conferences, events and in-person showcases.
These investments are intended to create more consistent pathways for businesses to discover TRMG, improve how qualified opportunities are identified and supported, and expand the company’s visibility among organizations seeking experienced guidance across social strategy, content and business systems.
Building for the Next Stage
True Reach Media Group was created to give businesses and leaders access to senior-level strategic thinking without separating strategy from execution.
The firm works with brands, founders, executives and organizations across social strategy, content development, audience growth, digital platforms and AI-enabled business systems. Its approach combines high-level counsel with practical implementation, helping clients turn ideas into work that is useful, measurable and built to move the business forward.
The grant represents an important milestone for the young company—and an opportunity to continue building with greater intention.
Rather than approaching growth as visibility for visibility’s sake, TRMG is focused on developing a stronger and more sustainable business-development infrastructure. That includes reaching the right prospective clients, building meaningful professional relationships and investing in marketing that can be measured against real business outcomes.

Reaching Further
For TRMG, the grant is both meaningful financial support and an important vote of confidence in the company’s direction.
It also reinforces the idea at the center of the firm’s work: sustainable growth does not come from simply creating more content or chasing greater visibility. It comes from connecting strategy, execution and business objectives—and ensuring each investment has a clear purpose.
As TRMG enters its next stage, the company will use this opportunity to continue building thoughtfully, expanding its reach and helping more businesses turn ideas into meaningful impact.
