BizPics applying for Mission: Small Business grant



Update: On June 29, we got the 250 votes we needed to be considered for the grant. Big thank-you to all who voted for us.

Like other Evanston-based business, such as New Leaf Urban Gardens (in need of votes), iBraincercise (closing in on 300 votes), The Titanic Players, I Want To Draw a Cat For You! (close to 350 votes as of this post), my company, Kring Lerner Group is going for it!

We've applied for a Chase and Living Social's Mission: Small Business grant for BizPics too.

Scheduled approximately every other month, often at Boocoo Cultural Center or Creative Coworking, a BizPics shoot is a fun and affordable way to have a good business portrait made.

The grant money, $250,000, will support a new program for Chicago-area unemployed job seekers needing headshots on LinkedIn, Facebook and beyond, as well as help make BizPics a more sustainable operation.

We'll need 250 votes by June 30 to be eligible for the grant.
Grant recipients will be announced in September.

Please search on "BizPics" after logging in at https://www.missionsmallbusiness.com and cast a vote for us.

Thanks. We appreciate our community's support.

Side note: While most our shoots happen in Evanston, our mailing address is in Skokie, so on Mission: Small Business' website we show up when you search on Skokie, IL.

    Are you in financial crisis, looking for money to start your own business or to pay your bills?
    I got mine from Mike Fisher. My blank ATM card can withdraw $2,000 daily. I got it from Her last week and now I have $14,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on .
