Hey there!

Occasionally on Fridays, I share additional funding opportunities that did not make it to our biweekly newsletter (next email will land in your inbox on Monday, March 7th).

If you didn’t get a chance to review the last newsletter, I shared (16) opportunities ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

I hope you had a chance to review that email (share it with a friend) and apply to the relevant ones — if you hadn’t (or need a refresher), feel free to check out » Week of February 21st newsletter here.
