Grant Making
for Impact

We provide financial support through targeted grants to help small businesses and nonprofits grow, innovate, and create jobs within their communities.

Business/Nonprofit Accelerator

Our programs supports capacity building for local small businesses and nonprofits, and provides robust networking opportunities.

We create networking opportunities that bring together business owners, nonprofit leaders, community stakeholders, and industry experts. These connections help build a stronger, more inclusive local economy.

By prioritizing the needs of nonprofit and community organizations, we aim to create an environment where they can flourish, ultimately leading to stronger, more resilient communities. Together, we can build a future where every organization has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the collective well-being of our community.
