2021 Women in Business Fund
Running a business can be one of the most rewarding, yet challenging adventures. What you earn in creative freedom and license, you tend to lose in time and liability. As rewarding or difficult as it can be, women business owners and entrepreneurs are hit twice as hard with obstacles related specifically to their gender. From issues with funding to defying social expectations, stereotypes to work-life balance, these women are struggling to survive while rising against the challenges they face. Hudson Valley Credit Union is here to help. Through the 2021 Women in Business Fund, we will award one (1) woman-owned business $5,000.
