Beyond Spots & Dots’ Women-to-Women Grant Program Awards $15,000 in grants to women-owned small businesses

We believe in the power of women and the importance of sustaining women-owned businesses. Our Women-to-Women Grant Program will help women continue to lead, particularly those who have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Layoffs. Furloughs. Businesses and schools closing their doors. This has been the unfortunate reality for many during the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent stay-at-home orders. In an effort to help support women-owned businesses struggling to maintain production, commerce and/or staff as result of the devastating COVID-19 outbreak, we are launching our Women-to-Women grant program, which offers $15,000 total in grant funds to three women owned businesses, with each receiving $5,000.

“This has been a tough time for women leaders. We want to celebrate the extra work women are doing these days,” said Melanie Querry, Founder and President, Beyond Spots & Dots. “As a woman-owned company, we’re incredibly fortunate to have been able to sustain our business through such a difficult time. We want to pay that forward and ensure if we are able to offer a helping hand, we do, and to the people who need it most. We’re committed to the community.”

Beginning June 1, 2020 through July 15th, we will be accepting applications from female business owners in the communities we serve. Of these applicants, three businesses (one Pennsylvania business, one Ohio business, and one Maryland business) will each receive a $5,000 grant to sustain their businesses.
