The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation is looking to support entrepreneurs through its recently announced Entrepreneurship Support program.

According to a release, the program is for nonprofit organizations and communities for activities and projects that promote entrepreneurship and deliver key services and resources to Wisconsin entrepreneurs.

“There are numerous organizations across the state that support the overall mission of identifying, educating, servicing and funding Wisconsin entrepreneurs,” WEDC Vice President of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Aaron Hagar said in a statement. “These grants will help leverage those assets and further increase the availability of high-impact resources supporting new, innovative approaches to serving the entrepreneurial community.”

The grant money will range from $10,000-$100,000 and support activities including entrepreneurial education, mentorship and training, and financial services. The projects supported by the program must take place in 2017.
