Women United Microgrants are made possible by the generosity of the George and Merilyn Crain Foundation and Women United, a program of United Way of Acadiana. The purpose of these microgrants is to offer a small investment to women entrepreneurs that will help sustain and/or grow their business. We are thrilled to support these women-owned businesses as they work to make a difference in the Lafayette area. These women are not only successful business leaders but also inspirational figures who exemplify the qualities of leadership and determination in our community.
