Crystal owns CriStyles Closet, an upscale clothing boutique in North Minneapolis. She came to MicroGrants through NEON and used her grant to purchase plus-sized inventory for the store.
She says,“I used [the grant] to buy nice, classy clothes for my women in the community . . I want to thank all the donors that believed in me and gave me the grant to live out my dream.”
MicroGrants grantmaking is currently paused as we work through internal operations and determine next steps for the program.
For our partner agencies: We will continue to share updates directly with you as more information becomes available.
