25 Black-owned Businesses in Fort Wayne Receive 2024 Dyer Grants
Black owned business Dyer grants

In a recent initiative to support local entrepreneurship, 25 Black-owned businesses in the Fort Wayne, Texas area have been awarded the prestigious Dyer Grants. These grants aim to empower minority-owned enterprises by providing the financial resources needed for growth and development.

The recipients, selected from a competitive pool of applicants, represent a diverse range of industries, including technology, retail, food services, and more. Each business demonstrated a strong potential for impact within their community, a key criterion in the selection process.

The Dyer Grants, named after the philanthropist and entrepreneur John Dyer, are designed to address the financial challenges faced by minority entrepreneurs. By offering these grants, the program seeks to foster economic equity and create a more inclusive business environment.

Recipients of the grants expressed gratitude and optimism for the future of their businesses. Many plan to use the funds to expand operations, invest in new technology, and hire additional staff. The infusion of capital is expected to not only benefit the businesses themselves but also contribute to the broader economic health of the community.

This year’s Dyer Grants mark a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to support and uplift Black-owned businesses. The initiative highlights the importance of targeted financial support in leveling the playing field and promoting sustainable economic development.
