Red Letter Grant Award Ceremony

Join us to celebrate women-led start-ups new to western Wisconsin at our 14th (!) bi-annual Red Letter Grant awards. 

The Red Letter Grant is open to women throughout ten counties in western Wisconsin who want to start a NEW business. RLG will consider applications from existing women-owned businesses looking to expand, but preference is given to applicants in the start-up phase. RLG considers the start-up phase to be three years old or younger. If you have already received a Red Letter Grant, you cannot re-apply for the same business, but you may apply for a new start-up. 

Eligible counties include: Buffalo, Clark, Chippewa, Dunn, Eau Claire, Jackson, Pepin, Pierce, St. Croix, and Trempealeau.

RLG will award two $5,000 grants and two $2,000 grants to women in our region, but also recognize all applicants! 

Additionally, CoLab co-working space in downtown Eau Claire offers four, free 3-month memberships to awardees.

A great place to network with entrepreneurs and economic development leaders vested in small business success!
