“Supporting women-owned businesses in our area has proven to be a welcome addition to the work of The Women’s Fund,” Ellen Rainey, VP of the WF board of directors and the committee chair for the grants, said in the announcement. “Each year the number of applicants continues to increase, and we are hoping we get an even greater response this year. Even if applicants have applied in the past and not received the grant, we encourage the women to apply again. This initiative has brought local women-owned businesses together. They are supporting and helping each other grow.”
The five $5,000 grants will be awarded in November. Recipients may use the grants for equipment, hardware/software, consulting services, training, education and marketing.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin–based Baird Private Wealth Management, which has an office in New Hartford, is a major contributor to the grant initiative, WF said. Baird has been a supporter since the grant initiative began. The Griffiss Institute is also a partner.
