The Women's Enterprise Development Center (WEDC) ha recibido una subvención de $2,500 de Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation para dar apoyo a sus programas de capacitación y servicios que ayudan a mujeres y emprendedores de grupos minoritarios a iniciar y fortalecer sus pequeñas empresas. Desde su fundación en 1997, WEDC ha ayudado a casi 8,000 empresas y ha abierto las puertas a propietarios de empresas para mujeres y minorías con ingresos bajos a moderados en Westchester y Hudson Valley.
“The work we do is more critical today than ever, and we want to serve an even greater number of businesses and clients for decades to come,” said Anne Janiak, CEO, Women’s Enterprise Development Center, “which is why we are so grateful to Ulster Savings for supporting our goals.”
Since 1997, WEDC has empowered entrepreneurs to build successful businesses by providing high-quality training programs, advisory services, and access to capital to generate economic growth in the community. They provide education and training specifically to women who often lack access to traditional financial and banking resources. They are one of the only non-profit entrepreneurial training programs in the region that targets this demographic.
La Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation fue creada en 2003 para ayudar a la comunidad local en las áreas de vivienda, educación y servicios humanos.
