We're All In Grants
Applications due by November 2nd!
|
|
Applications are now open for the second round of We’re All In Small Business Grants. The WEDC grants administered by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue make available federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding to eligible Wisconsin businesses.
The program aims to provide 10,000 businesses around the state with $5,000 grants that can be used for any purpose, with a total of $50 million in grant funds to be distributed in this round.
This new round of grants follows the first phase, which provided more than $65 million in grants to more than 26,000 businesses statewide this summer.
Applications for the grants opened at 8 a.m. this morning, and will close at 11:59 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2. As with the previous round of We’re All In Grants, awards will not be made on a first-come, first-served basis.
For this round, applicants will not be required to obtain a letter of support from a local business group and will not have to submit tax information. The grants are available to all eligible small businesses, including those that have previously received the first round of We’re All In Grants from WEDC.
Priority will be given to businesses hardest hit by the pandemic, such as restaurants and taverns, hair and nail salons and barber shops, and other services.

I received my B.S. from Marian University majoring in Accounting and Finance and minoring in Marketing and Business Administration. I started in the Insurance industry in 2014 as a College Financial Representative and was ranked 77 out of 3,000+ interns via Top Production. After working with that company, I realized it wasn’t the best fit for me and decided to go independent to be able to offer a variety of different insurance carriers. My journey in the Health Insurance industry started in 2016 where I began focusing on Health Insurance and the Medicare market. Since then, I have been ranked in the Top 20 Agents in Wisconsin for multiple carriers.
Within the community, I am a part of the Board of Directors for our local Chamber of Commerce. When I’m not working, I enjoy coaching High School hockey as well as playing competitively, golfing, traveling and spending time with my wife, Brianna and dog, Tucker.
My ultimate goal is to provide an extra layer of service and peace of mind to my clients through helping them find the right plan to fit their individual needs and budget. I take great pride in assisting my clients and I look forward to working with you.
