$1000 to $1000 Start-Ups

We were delighted to contribute to this excellent organization, which offers "an entrepreneurship, financial management, and life skills training program at no cost to adults, including up to $1,000 business start-up funding."

Here's their full mission statement:

• To provide economic and re-entry opportunity by training and funding low-cost business start-up for potential entrepreneurs from traditionally marginalized or at-risk communities.

• To build a consortium of businesses who mentor, support, and grow with each other.

• To provide entrepreneurship and life skills training to potential employees of consortium businesses.
