Grantor: StreetShares Foundation

The StreetShares Foundation is committed to creating more opportunities for military veteran entrepreneurs. Their grant program allows us to boost veteran small businesses in a big way by providing opportunities for access to capital.

Veteran small businesses make up approximately 9 percent of all American firms and employ 5.8 million Americans according to the SBA. It's their mission to create opportunities for these veteran small business owners through inspirational success stories, educational content, or awards that provide a boost of financial support to grow their business.
