Small Business
Small Businesses play an important role in the overall health of our nation’s economy. In response to the challenges small business owners face in today’s environment, we’re supporting nonprofits assisting entrepreneurs especially minority and indigenous owned, as they address their short term needs and strengthen their overall recovery.
Examples:
Technical assistance supporting business planning (short and long term).
Operational capacity of CDFIs delivering essential growth capital to entrepreneurs.
Supporting organizations assisting minority-owned small businesses.
Creating business incubators and accelerators that provide mentorships, resources, and networks entrepreneurs need to launch, fund and grow their businesses.
Assisting economic development efforts that promote small business growth and healthy commercial corridors. (e.g. Mainstreet).
