Unity Bank is excited to announce that Outlaw Farms of Fall Creek, WI and AKF Martial Arts Academy of Neillsville, WI are recipients of a Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago's (FHLBank Chicago) Community First® Accelerate Grants for Small Business.

As a member institution of FHLBank Chicago, Unity Bank had the honor of identifying two Wisconsin small business customers who fit the criteria for the grant.

This nomination was accepted and Outlaw Farm and AKF Martial Arts Academy were each awarded a $15,000 grant from the FHLBank Chicago to support their small businesses.

Linda Imler took ownership of AKF Martial Arts Academy in Neillsville, WI, in January 2003, bringing her deep passion and dedication to the community. Linda’s journey in martial arts began in 1993, and in 2014, she achieved the rank of Master-level black belt.

Over the years, Linda has witnessed the powerful transformation martial arts can bring, helping students of all ages find confidence, strength, and resilience. This commitment to personal growth shines through in everything Linda and AKF Martial Arts Academy strive to achieve.

Thanks to the FHLBank Chicago grant, AKF Martial Arts Academy will be able to offer even more dynamic and accessible learning opportunities for its students. The funds will go toward updating equipment, enhancing the workout space, and purchasing essential office and training supplies.

These improvements will help keep martial arts training affordable, empowering even more students in the Neillsville community to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery and growth.
