Entrepreneur grant deadline extended

Groups working to support Wisconsin’s entrepreneurs and remove barriers to success have a second chance to receive a new Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. (WEDC) grant, according to a release. The Entrepreneurship Partner Grant program has extended the deadline until Dec. 9. The program is for nonprofits, communities, and other eligible organizations working to support entrepreneurs — including groups such as people of color, women, the LGBTQ+ community, and rural residents. The program’s grants can help these nonprofits pay for things such as entrepreneurship training, mentors, seed accelerators, and technical assistance.
