This year as part of the SOURCE Seed Fund, the SOURCE Seed Fund Committee awarded $30,000 to 16 small businesses! The following entrepreneurs show dedication to their work, thoughtful business growth plans, a desire to continually improve what they have to offer to their customers, and have a strong relationship with SOURCE and other local entrepreneurs while growing the local Indianapolis economy with their work.

We are proud to support them in their entrepreneurial journeys and invite you to do the same. Our winners include:

The Seed Fund is funded by the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and is available to all entrepreneurs through SOURCE. Local small businesses can apply for an award of $500-$2,000 in this multi-step process.

SOURCE would like to thank and recognize all of our Seed Fund Committee members; Saidah Pearsall (Owner of Shea BODYWORKS), Neil Metzger (REDi Program Manager), and Karen Young (Business Attorney with Gutwein Law). None of this would have been possible without you. Lastly, a big thank you to our former board member Jason Andrews who passed away in a car accident earlier this year. He was a inspiration to local entrepreneurs and one of the founding members of the Seed Fund Committee. We were lucky to have him and his legacy lives on.
