“I loved the mentorship. The knowledge gained help us apply for an additional business loan through FSA.”

Please Note: We do not offer refunds on the mentorship. Why? Because we cap mentorship participation. So if you sign up for a spot it stops someone else from joining and if you later decide you want to back out now we’re out of income. It’s kind of like if you had a CSA member and once harvest came they asked if they could get a refund for their advanced payment. We do have options though! If you decide you don’t want to join the live portion of the mentorship the year you signed up we can invite you into the live portion the following year. You can also find someone to take your spot (again, just like a CSA!). We hear from mentorship participants that the resources do more than support writing a grant application, they also teach them skills in evaluating their business and how to improve it. So we hope that no matter what you decide about applying for a grant, you find the investment in the mentorship was worth it!
