2024/2025 ILLUMINATE GRANTEES

ILLUMINATE is powered by ALSPARK, a new Main Street Alabama initiative to energize emerging and growing businesses in Designated Main Street Alabama Districts across the state. Illuminate is supported by funding from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Congratulations to six amazing Main Street Wetumpka business members who were awarded the IllUMINATE Marketing Grant! Each of these businesses received $1,000 to enhance their marketing efforts and grow their reach. This grant empowers our local businesses to invest in tools like digital advertising, business signage, promotional giveaways, branded packaging, and so much more! We’re grateful to these businesses for supporting Main Street Wetumpka and for their continued dedication to our community. #WeLoveThisPlace
