About this Event

Join The City of Evanston Reparations Committee, along with our partners of the Small Business Development Center at Oakton College and the Reparations Stakeholders Authority of Evanston as we celebrate the inaugural class of the Kickstarter Program!

Calling all minority-, women-, and disadvantaged-owned business owners.

Following the recognition, join the City of Evanston M/W/D/E Committee for a post-reception mixer with local minority-, women-, and disadvantaged-owned business owners to inspire connection and networking, and to give you a chance to win a mini-grant on the spot. Up to $5,000 will be given away to registered Evanston businesses in attendance that complete the survey!
