WDVA Entrepreneurship Grant
The WDVA Entrepreneurship Grant is awarded to registered 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) nonprofit organizations that provide entrepreneurship training or technical, business, or other assistance to the diverse group of Veteran entrepreneurs in our state to improve employment outcomes.
