ISRINGHAUSEN DRIVE GRANT
The Isringhausen DRIVE Grant was created to help local entrepreneurs establish new businesses in downtown Springfield. The sizable cash grant helps the entrepreneurs cover remodeling, inventory, equipment, advertising, and/or other start-up related costs during their first year.
​
Isringhausen has long been a cornerstone of the downtown Springfield community, and is excited to help a new generation of local entrepreneurs achieve their dreams.

The DRIVE Grant helps strengthen DSI’s commitment to increasing economic and cultural vitality in Springfield’s historic downtown.
