The Center for Rural Affairs – REAP Women’s Business Center is proud to announce that it has been selected again as a Local Partner for the Women and Company Microenterprise Boost Program. Through this program, REAP will provide cash equity awards from $500 to $2500 to REAP women microentrepreneurs in rural Nebraska communities.
