Columbia has been selected as one of five “Etsy Maker Cities” to receive a $40,000 grant. The grant comes from the Etsy Maker Initiative, a program from Etsy and Mastercard that hopes to boost small businesses and creators, particularly those in marginalized communities.
Columbia’s Loop Community Improvement District has teamed up with Jabberwocky Studios, a nonprofit organization, to use this funding to create resources for local creators around Columbia.
