🙌I’m so honored to share that the James & Annelle Whitt Entrepreneurial Development Foundation (JAWED) created a spotlight video about our journey as a SEED Grant awardee.🌱
🙏Thanks to their powerful SEED Grant, Show-Me Dinosaurs was able to purchase a trailer that has expanded Show-Me Dinosaurs’ capacity — helping us book more shows, operate more safely and efficiently, and bring an even higher quality of service to the communities we serve.
♥What inspires us most, though, is not just what this has meant for my business, but what the JAWED Foundation is doing for women- and minority-owned businesses across Mid-Missouri. Their mission to provide SEED Grants, mentorship, and training helps eliminate race and gender wealth gaps while fueling community growth and opportunity.
I’m deeply grateful for their support and humbled to be one of the many entrepreneurs they are championing. I encourage you to follow the JAWED Foundation’s page and support their incredible work so they can continue uplifting even more entrepreneurs in our region.
🤝If you know a local minority owned or woman owned business owner that is looking for creative ways to raise capital to help them expand their business, have them apply for a SEED Grant! They can apply in the Spring and Fall every year. The next deadline to apply is October 1st! Link is in my comments.
