Dear Friends~ 
 
If you happen to be hungry in Alamosa I recommend that you stop by Friar's Fork for a bite to eat. This amazing small business and FSWCF customer was recently named a semifinalist for a prestigious James Beard Award, read more below and on our website. 
 
Small business owners, learn about the benefits of incorporating your business! We are co-sponsoring a free Zoom webinar, presented in both English and Spanish, presented by Small Business Majority.
 
Women in business, there are still a few remaining workshops in our spring workshop series - Introduction to Digital Marketing Tactics will be presented on March 6 in English and March 8 in Spanish. This free Zoom webinar will outline digital tools you can use to increase brand awareness.
Additionally, women entrepreneurs should consider joining the Central Mountain Small Business Development Center for a one day conference in Salida focused on inspiring women’s leadership development, creativity, and innovation. Also, women, if you seek funding for your business please consider our Rural Women-Led Business Fund or Fortaleza Fund. Read more about all of these opportunities below.
 
Farmers and ranchers, we have teamed up with the Colorado Department of Agriculture to provide financing where other lenders won’t. Let us help you grow your business. Details are below with a link to our website to learn more and apply.
 
Please reach out to me at azarelmc@fswcf.org if you have questions about any of our loans, grants or education programs. Thanks for reading and sharing our work.
 
In gratitude,
