Joliet Magazine received a $5,000 Matching Grant from Centerpoint GSU. It helped in continuing the efforts to create a positive forum for community members to share their ideas. This forum is also supported by several advertisers and sponsors. CenterPoint played a key role in guiding the growth of Ayingo Productions magazines.

There are many businesses in need of this same assistance. Below you will find a list that I have compiled to make it easier to find the grants. If you happen to stumble across grants that might be helpful for other businesses in the community leave a comment and the web link. Hope this is helpful.
