How it works

FROM OPPORTUNITY TO IMPACT

The first $250 opens the door. Accountability, steady work, and giving back keep the opportunity moving.

Selected entrepreneurs receive $250 to start or strengthen a small business.

ACCOUNTABILITY

Participants track progress, report results, and stay accountable throughout the program.

04

GROWTH

Consistent, accountable businesses may be considered for additional support.

05

GIVE BACK
