According to a release, the grants help develop or expand innovative programs aimed at advancing the climate for entrepreneurship throughout the state. Doyenne Group was given $65,000, while the UW Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic received $50,000.

“These grants will enable organizations throughout the state to provide more resources to support local entrepreneurial communities that may not have access to other, traditional resources,” WEDC CEO Missy Hughes said in a statement.
