The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund by SIA Scotch
SIA Scotch Whisky is pledging an additional $110,000 to support entrepreneurs of color in the food and beverage industry.*
For nearly a decade, SIA Scotch Whisky has been committed to donating a portion of sales to organizations that help support entrepreneurs – the dreamers, movers and shakers who are shaping futures. In 2021, SIA partnered with Hello Alice and awarded $250,000 to 25 small businesses with $10,000 grants through The Entrepreneurial Spirit Fund.
SIA is Everything You’d Never Expect From a Scotch Whisky
Inspired by its founder Carin Luna-Ostaseski’s journey as one of the first Hispanic entrepreneurs in history to create a scotch whisky brand, SIA has been challenging conventions since its 2012 launch on kickstarter.com. The brand has always had a vision to inspire others to achieve the unexpected, and now their goal is to provide small business owners of color with access to the capital, mentorship, and community that will enable them to take action, build stronger businesses and have a positive impact on the economy.
