Rewards
Thanks to all the support of fabulous Darn Good Yarners, a unique and innovative business plan, and the dedicated passion of DGY owner Nicole Snow, Darn Good Yarn was the first Grand Prize winner of the FedEx Small Business Grant last year. We won $25,000 to help expand Darn Good Yarn, support more women in India, Nepal and now Chile, and bring the best products to you! Working with FedEx has helped Darn Good Yarn reach more people, save money along the way, and ship faster despite being located in a tiny, often snow-bound town in Maine.

After the success of the first Small Business Grant, FedEx is offering another one this year!
Darn Good Yarn is a very small business indeed and we try to support other small businesses. Not only do we support micro-enterprises and small businesses in India, Nepal and Chile, we also try to help out Darn Good Yarners and their businesses with our great wholesale opportunities. FedEx wants to help small businesses too! They are again giving away $50,000 in grants to 10 small businesses.
If you have a small business, or know one you'd like to support, make sure you tell them all about this great opportunity. Here's the vital stats:
