Minnequa Works Credit Union Is Fueling Future Business

Posted by on July 17, 2024

Fuel Kitchens and Minnequa Works Credit Union (MWCU) are thrilled to announce a grant program for up-and-coming food businesses in Southeastern Colorado. This grant, funded by MWCU, is designed to support individuals looking to offset the costs of entrepreneurship with Fuel Kitchens in Pueblo, Colo. Up to 10 entrepreneurs will receive $3,000 to offset membership costs at Fuel Kitchens over a period of six months.

Award winners must open a checking account at MWCU for their business, where the funds will be deposited. Applications for the grant opened July 1, 2024, and will be accepted on a rolling basis until all grant funds are expended, which is expected to occur by Aug. 1. Learn more and apply for the grant HERE.

Fuel Kitchens is the incubator commissary kitchen and co-manufacturing facility for the Fuel & Iron Project, which also includes the Fuel & Iron Food Hall for restauranteurs and Fuel Farm for farmers (opening in 2025). Through the launch of these incubator sites, Fuel & Iron aims to make Pueblo the best place in Colorado to launch a food business, allowing the region to attract talent from around the state while retaining more homegrown talent.

The capabilities of Fuel Kitchens directly support MWCU’s goal to make it easier to do business in Southern Colorado. Members of MWCU receive flexible and convenient banking services such as online and mobile banking, bill pay, mobile deposits, eStatements, Mastercard debit cards, and more. Accounts come with the peace of mind of having no monthly fee and no monthly minimum requirements.

Since 1937, Minnequa Works Credit Union has been providing quality financial services to their members living, working, worshiping, and attending school in Southern Colorado. They’ve built their business on helping members reach their goals, and serving as a committed supporter of their community. As a member-owned credit union, their clients are their business. They offer a wide range of low cost products and services, lower loan rates, higher dividends and savings options, and relationship-based banking to help members achieve their dreams.
