JOYweavers Awarded Grant from the Lenny Zakim Fund
We are so proud to have been selected for support by the Lenny Zakim Fund (LZF)! While we appreciate their funding, the opportunities for coaching, mentorships and access to a non-profit community through LZF are extraordinary. Their support over the next five years is incredibly meaningful and will bring us into our next chapter.
