• Who is eligible to apply? To be eligible to apply for this round of grants, users must complete any combination of two courses, coaching events, and community events between July 1, 2022, and November 14, 2022, and submit a grant application by November 14, 2022. Engagements through the Personalized Mentoring feature are not included towards grant eligibility. Awards will be made to a selection of qualified businesses who apply (not all applicants).
