Grant Overview
Addressing Marketing Barriers for Delaware Artisans
Delaware's artisan community faces significant barriers in marketing their crafts, often lacking the necessary resources to reach wider audiences. With a population of just under one million and a growing emphasis on local economies, the state recognizes that supporting small businesses, particularly artisans, is key to economic sustainability. Many artisans produce unique crafts that reflect Delaware’s culture and history, yet struggle to connect with potential customers both locally and beyond.
