The Women’s Business Center of Utah (WBCUtah) has awarded three grants as part of its 3,000 Grants Giveaway, which aims to boost the number of listings in the Utah Women-Owned Business Directory, raise awareness of the center and provide funding for three women business owners.
“We are thrilled to present impactful grants to our winners,” said Ann Marie Wallace, state director of the Women’s Business Center of Utah. “This giveaway played a vital role in expanding the Utah Women-Owned Business Directory to include 3,000 listings, further amplifying its impact in promoting women-owned businesses statewide.”
Out of nearly 2,500 entries, three women entrepreneurs were randomly selected as grant winners. The three recipients are Britt Zale, co-owner of Climb Moab LLC, a gym based in Moab; Chrisella Herzog, owner of Humble & Hustle Studios, a digital marketing agency based in Sandy; and Faith Dickey, owner of Elevate Outdoors LLC, a guided outdoor adventure and educational program company, also based in Moab.
“Receiving a grant is not only a monetary boost, but also a confidence boost,” said Dickey. “It takes a lot of work to start a business from scratch, and I feel so grateful for the support from the Women’s Business Center of Utah. I can’t wait to use the funds to promote my company and get more people outdoors.”
