Overview
Mission
To strengthen communities by supporting small businesses, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, particularly those who are asset-limited and income-constrained, through mentorship, education, technical assistance, and access to funding and strategic resources that promote economic self-determination and advance health and wealth equity.
What it reported doing in 2025
The foundation provides pro bono support to entrepreneurs and small business owners, particularly those from under-resourced communities, through customized technical assistance, mentorship, and strategic advisory services. This support strengthens business capacity, improves financialsustainability, and increases access to opportunities that promote long-term growth, stability, and economic mobility.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
