Created to help bridge the funding gap for women founders, the Stacy’s Rise Project™ has awarded grants to more than fifty women since 2019, connecting and empowering their small businesses. But Stacy’s® Pita Chips wasn’t always a household name. Marketing, mentorship, and monetary support helped this brand rise from a humble sandwich cart to the nation’s supermarkets. And it’s these same resources that today’s entrepreneurs need to succeed – now, more than ever. So that’s exactly what Stacy’s is offering to 10 founders in their journey to make their dreams a reality with the latest iteration of the Rise Project.
