For anyone that has ever started a business or dreamed of working for themselves, the hurdles to entrepreneurship can seem insurmountable.  From doing the paperwork to start a business to sell goods or services; to setting up bank accounts and accounting systems; to buying the equipment and supplies that make the business go often keep many folks from following their dreams.  In other cases, people have great ideas for small businesses but cannot get access to working capital because they don’t have a good financial track record or don’t have a means to back up a loan.

We do so by investing in programs that provide mentorship, offer unique low-interest micro-loan programs or by direct grants to organizations to help create jobs.
