Your Donations Help
Expand Our Impact
We focus on entrepreneurs who will benefit the most from our services, especially BIPOC entrepreneurs, women, LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs, immigrants, veterans, entrepreneurs with disabilities, low-income entrepreneurs, and formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs.
Support Local Communities
We work with entrepreneurs based in cities across the nation who serve local communities and neighborhoods. Applicants must currently sell goods and/or services and have less than $1M in business revenue over the last 12 months.
Advance Equity In Entrepreneurship
We have a responsibility to play an active role in fighting systems of oppression and advancing equity in small business ownership. Your monetary donations go directly to helping us further our mission and strengthen our ability to provide free resources and assistance to small business entrepreneurs from marginalized communities.
SMALL BUSINESSES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. SO CAN YOU.
