We are excited to announce the recipients of the Spring 2023 Impact Partner Grant, a program aimed at fostering inclusive innovation in Raleigh. Five local businesses have been chosen to receive this grant, recognizing their dedication to supporting underrepresented innovators, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. The Impact Partner Grant offers funding to organizations that contribute to the growth and success of our local business ecosystem. This grant cycle included a $20,000 grant and a $5,000 microgrant.
