🐝 We’ve been busy and are buzzing with excitement!

IFundWomen has always had a vibrant community of women-owned businesses in LA which is why we launched #ifw4la Fire Relief Grants. A shocking 200 businesses applied for aid in 24 hours. Please support the grant fund here: https://lnkd.in/eNWeHmYt

💔 IFundWomen members have lost their homes and businesses in the horrific Los Angeles fires. PLEASE SUPPORT the #IFW4LA fund, which will provide fire relief grants to entrepreneurs who have lost everything. Thoughts and prayers do not help. Money does. Please give generously. #ifw4la #IFundWomen #lafires #losangeles #losangelesentrepreneurs #laentrepreneurs
