Empowering Michigan'S Girl Bosses

For more than 40 years, the Olga Loizon Memorial Foundation has helped female entrepreneurs in Michigan get their businesses off the ground with up to $10,000 in grants, the Detroit Free Press reports.

The foundation was started by the late Olga Loizon, who opened her first restaurant in Birmingham in the 1970s and went on to found the successful Olga's Kitchen chain.
