Chai For Wins Progressive Driving
Small Business Forward Grant 2024
On August 26, 2024 Chai For was awarded $50,000 in grant funding from Progressive Insurance and their partner Hello Alice through the Progressive Driving Small Business Forward Grant 2024.
Chai For will use the grant to expand their operational reach and release all new, exciting products to the market (including their much-requested Chai concentrate).
Chai For is honored to be Ohio's sole recipient of the prestigious grant in 2024, selected from over 20,000 applicants across the country. “We will embody our community’s storied legacy of hard-working grit by hitting the ground running at full sprint, all in service of our mission to deliver our world-class chai to the region, state, and country.” said Colin Wiseman, Founder of Chai For.
"We will hit the ground running."
Progressive Driving Small Business Forward Winners also enroll in a 12-week accelerator program featuring mentorship, expert guidance, and access to a supportive business community. The focus of the accelerator will be growth-oriented learning including forecasting, funding, pitch strategies, sales, and customer acquisition.
"We are filled with gratitude to Hello Alice and Progressive Insurance for believing in our vision for this grant. We will use this opportunity to leap towards our goal of reshaping chai in the Cincinnati Metro region with our uncommonly authentic chai." said Wiseman.
