We help people with low incomes to start or strengthen small businesses

We believe that entrepreneurship can be a pathway out of poverty, a tool for economic justice, and a vehicle for sustainable, community-rooted prosperity. We offer intensive training, expert coaching and consultation, a supportive community of entrepreneurs, and access to credit.

Our work is rooted in the belief that economic development should be human-scaled.

We believe in the wisdom and beauty of local. We dream of a world in which we all have the room to experiment, make mistakes, and stumble. A world where we learn together and pick each other up when we fall. A world where we build prosperity together.

Entrepreneurship is a multi-solver

Small, local businesses do more than create jobs - they build local resilience, circulate dollars in the local economy, reduce environmental impact, and strengthen community ties.
