Small Business Support


Business ownership is one of the best ways to build wealth, but in many communities, entrepreneurs think of their businesses as a "side hustle." Our small business supports are designed to grow new and existing local businesses from a "hustle" to a mainstream success.

In collaboration with a network of partners dedicated to growing opportunities for entrepreneurs who are traditionally underrepresented in the business world, we provide training, capital, and contracting opportunities to women- and minority- owned businesses and startups statewide. Our shared goal is to increase the odds that these businesses will succeed, grow, and advance in wealth- and income-building opportunities in traditionally underserved neighborhoods.
