Congratulations to Holly Brown Bear for being one of the twenty entrepreneurs to receive IWEF funding this year. She is a good example of where hard work and determination can take you. Going into her second year of college, she has already successfully landed a position as a Commercial Re-toucher and Photo Editor for Chris Griffiths at Bang-On Photography.
“As someone in the early stages of starting my business I have found the funds very useful. So far, I have been able to use them towards the purchase of a website and domain to begin to build my shop online. I was also able to make the trip to the Pow Wow pitch with the help of the grant where I placed in the top ten,” explained Holly Brown Bear. “Next step now that I have settled on it is to officially claim my name so that I can have a stronger brand for my products and services.”
