FORT COLLINS — Wealth in Numbers (WIN), a program by The BIPOC Alliance, awarded $25,000 in grants to support the sustainability and growth of businesses owned by Black, Latino, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in Larimer County.

Sixteen applicants received funds to support needs such as COVID-19 relief, general overhead capital, payroll or marketing.
