Empowering Communities by Fueling Small Business Growth
In cities, towns, and neighborhoods across the country, community organizations are the heartbeat of change. Through youth programs, housing assistance, health initiatives, and more — these nonprofits are working tirelessly to build stronger, more resilient communities. Yet, one pillar of transformation often holds the power to uplift generations: economic development.
When economic development is done right, it’s not just about job creation or financial literacy. It’s about rewriting the story for families who have long faced barriers to opportunity. It’s about creating sustainable businesses that not only serve local needs but also empower their owners to build legacies. And that’s exactly where we believe community organizations can make their greatest impact — by supporting small business growth.
Why Small Business Support Matters
Small businesses are more than storefronts. They are dreams, jobs, and generational assets. But far too often, promising business owners within under-resourced communities struggle to gain the visibility and traction they need to succeed. Despite having a great product or service, they may face:
Limited access to marketing knowledge
Difficulty connecting with their target audience
A lack of guidance in how to scale
No clear brand presence online or in their neighborhoods
These challenges are not due to a lack of talent or ambition — but a lack of structured support. That’s where your organization can step in — and where we come in to help.
Our Mission: Equip Nonprofits to Power Small Business Success
We’re passionate about partnering with community organizations and nonprofits that are committed to economic development. Our goal? To equip you with the strategic marketing tools, training, and programming needed to help the small businesses in your network thrive.
We work with nonprofits to co-create:
Workshops and webinars on branding, digital marketing, and social media
Technical assistance that walks entrepreneurs through tools like Meta Business Suite, Google Business Profile, and more
Email marketing and outreach strategies that help small business owners stay connected with customers
Community storytelling initiatives that spotlight local business owners and build credibility
When small business owners gain the ability to confidently tell their story, target the right audience, and promote their offerings consistently — their entire trajectory changes.
The Bigger Picture
Helping a small business grow doesn’t just benefit that entrepreneur. It strengthens the local economy. It keeps dollars circulating within the neighborhood. It shows the next generation that success is possible close to home.
We believe in grassroots growth — and in the power of nonprofits like yours to lead the charge.
Let’s build something bigger together. If your organization is looking to deepen its economic development impact, especially through small business support, we’d love to partner with you.
