Help Support Microenterprises!
By definition, microenterprises are very small businesses with fewer than five employees. They come in all types and many sizes including: small law firms with 2 attorneys and a paralegal, after-school tutors, corner groceries, independent truck drivers, carpenters, street vendors, and seamstresses. They contribute significantly to economic growth, social stability, and equity—yet they are the least supported among all business types with many social and economic structures stacked against them.
Your gift will support the growth, social stability, and equity of microenterprises. Help us provide the tools and resources they need to build a better future. Learn more…
