Supporting Entrepreneurs

We’re expanding assistance for small business enterprises to accelerate business growth. We’re doing this by supporting:

  • Community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and loan funds geared specifically toward assisting people of color.
  • Capacity-building programs that help small business owners gain the skills they need to grow their businesses.
  • Technical assistance to help small business owners learn to navigate complicated systems like tax and banking systems.
