Mary came to MicroGrants through The Amherst H. Wilder Foundation. She says,
“I applied for a [grant for a] photography business surrounding mental health . . . Once I received the grant, I was able to get an entrepreneurship class at St. Thomas, which I am currently attending to try and make sure that I run the business accordingly . . . I want to thank you, the donors, for being able to help me with the funding to begin my business.”
MicroGrants grantmaking is currently paused as we work through internal operations and determine next steps for the program.
