Recognition: Electivity, a Marin company offering after-school classes and summer camps for kids, is a 2025 Allstate Main Street Grant recipient. The $20,000 grant, presented by Allstate in partnership with Hello Alice and the Global Entrepreneurship Network, is given to “local businesses that power Main Streets across America,” according to Hello Alice’s website.
