Applicants are invited to apply for the 3rd annual Stacy's Rise Project to support small businesses through funding, mentorship and community.
Created to help bridge the funding gap for founders, the Stacy’s Rise Project has been connecting and empowering business owners for years. But Stacy’s Pita Chips wasn’t always a household name. Mentorship and monetary support helped this brand rise from a humble sandwich cart to the nation’s supermarkets. And it’s these same resources that today’s small business owners need to succeed – now, more than ever. So that’s exactly what Stacy’s is offering to 10 entrepreneurs in their journey to make their dreams a reality with the latest iteration of the Rise Project.
