Yvette's Local Entrepreneur Fund

Donations to Dane Buy Local's Scholarship will support dedicated board members.

In honor of Yvette Jones of designCraft Advertising’s six years of service on the Dane Buy Local Board of Directors, Yvette’s Local Entrepreneur Fund was created to foster the development of young people as entrepreneurs. The fund will be used to provide scholarships for graduating area high school seniors who are looking for future entrepreneurial opportunities, especially those who are pursuing a career in marketing or advertising, and who will enroll in an education program at the post-secondary level preparing them for independent business ownership.

A key part of the mission of the Dane Buy Local Foundation is to provide mentorship opportunities in the schools. Yvette’s Fund ties into this mission by affording a unique opportunity for a young person to create a life in the entrepreneurial world, thereby contributing to the sustainability of our local economy.

Yvette Jones is the President of designCraft Advertising, notable in the community for more than 30 years of advertising with a conscience. The business is located at 707 South Park Street in Madison.
