Spotlight Your Local Business Heroes!

Are these businesses in your community that have grown tremendously and created a lot of jobs in recent years?

Nominate them for IC100 awards at bit.ly/IC100nominate and shine a spotlight on your community!

Winners will be selected based on both revenue growth and job creation over a four-year period (2015-2019). To be eligible for this award, a company must be:

• Be an independently-operated company (not a subsidiary or division of another company)
• Be a privately-owned, for-profit company that is not a bank or holding company
• Be headquartered in an urban, under-resourced community*
• Have revenues of at least $100,000 in 2015 and $1 million in 2019

* ICIC defines an urban, under-resourced community as an area of concentrated poverty within cities with a population greater than 75,000.
