TVFCU announces Cleveland Idea Leap Grant semifinalists

  Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union announced yesterday that seven small business owners have been named as Semifinalists in the Cleve

 

Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union announced yesterday that seven small business owners have been named as Semifinalists in the Cleveland-area Idea Leap Grant competition.  The owners are competing for a total of $50,000 in grants. 

 

Tommy Nix, vice president of business and commercial services at TVFCU, said “Although the Idea Leap Grant opportunity has always been open to small businesses across the credit union’s entire service area, this is the first year we’ve expanded the Idea Leap Grant into three competitions. Each small business was asked to apply in the area they primarily serve and, as a result, the number of applicants nearly doubled from last year, making this program even more competitive. We offer sincere congratulations to the small business owners who have been named semifinalists in the 6th Annual Idea Leap Grant, and we encourage entrepreneurs who are no longer in the competition to apply again next year.”

 

Cleveland-Area Semifinalists are competing for three grants. First place receives $25,000, second place wins $15,000 and third place receives $10,000. The Cleveland-area semifinalists are:

  •     Anistasis Wellness
  •     Biskit NV
  •     Carroll Printing Company
  •     Direct Primary Care Associates, PLLC
  •     Happy Tails Grooming Salon
  •     Mayfield Farm Park
  •     Rod’s Rocking Rolls

 

In the coming weeks, TVFCU will ask for the public’s help in choosing one People’s Choice Finalist in each competition. Follow TVFCU on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn for Idea Leap updates.
