Fig Industries recently announced the recipients of the 2024 Fig Tree grants. The grants represent more than just financial support; they symbolize the company's commitment to nurturing Lancaster city's small businesses and entrepreneurs.
In collaboration with the Lancaster County Community Foundation, Fig Industries established The Fig Tree in 2023. Thanks to additional support from local businesses and individuals, this year's grant cycle had $35,000 available for distribution. Through a grant to Lancaster City Alliance, local businesses received $5,000 each to support growth and innovative new ideas.
The Fig Tree 2024 grant recipients are EsÅArts, INGOMA Films, Lancaster Gift Box, PAVAA Gallery, Pham Enterprises, Pocket Books Shop and RichStitch Embroidery.
Grant recipients were chosen by an independent advisory committee composed of seven individuals from across the community. Members of the committee reviewed and scored the responses of all applicants based on their ideas.
Local businesses that invested in The Fig Tree for its first year along with Fig Industries are Work Wisdom, Cargas, and Trout CPA. Several local individuals also contributed.
The next Fig Tree grant cycle will open in March 2025. Find more information and support The Fig Tree at http://www.lancfound.org/fund/the-fig-tree.
