Viva Creative Studio began as a bold vision and, with support from CIE’s Start Simple program and a Blended Capital grant, grew into a thriving creative hub. Today, it’s a welcoming space where artists, families, and neighbors come together- proof of what accessible entrepreneurship support can make possible.
Comadres in Pasco
Our Comadres course for Spanish‑speaking women entrepreneurs in Franklin County will be held on Tuesdays, May 12, 19, 26, and June 2 from 5-8:30pm (including dinner). This in‑person Spanish‑language training will be hosted by our partner, the Broetje Family Trust. The program strengthens business skills, builds community, and supports women as they grow their enterprises. We are grateful for the generous support of US Bank and the 3 Rivers Community Foundation, which makes this offering possible.
Spanish Start Simple in Sunnyside
We are pleased to announce that Spanish Start Simple will be offered virtually for entrepreneurs in Sunnyside this May and June. With support from WEDFA, this program will provide practical business training and direct support for new and early‑stage entrepreneurs. Graduates will receive a $200 stipend, and those who launch their business this year will be eligible for a $300 Startup Momentum Grant.
