They do this by connecting small business owners with the education and resources they need to start, grow and sustain their business. they serve all entrepreneurs but focus on reaching under-resourced entrepreneurs, including women, people of color, immigrants and those in rural communities. Their three organizational initiatives are: 1. Small business education and resources: We provide a suite of educational programs and resources to small business owners, their employees and self-employed entrepreneurs to empower them to start and grow their enterprises and maximize their economic prosperity. 2. Policy & advocacy: We develop and support policies that benefit the entire small business ecosystem—ranging from boosting access to responsible capital, ensuring affordable access to quality healthcare and other essential benefits, and promoting fair competition. 3.
