Let’s take a look at some of the top non-profit organizations that are focused on empowering women-owned businesses.

The CWCC helps bridge the gap between large corporations and small businesses in order to create a more equitable, diverse marketplace for everyone involved. With programs such as their Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program, they strive to provide women with the tools needed to lead successful companies and foster relationships with each other and larger companies.

Mi Casa Resource Center
Mi Casa Resource Center is a non-profit organization based in Denver dedicated to helping low-income Latinas become self-sufficient by providing them with resources such as education, childcare services, job training programs, and small business loans so they can realize their dreams of owning their own businesses one day. Mi Casa also offers bilingual classes on topics such as budgeting, credit management, computer skills, and marketing strategies so Latina entrepreneurs can gain valuable knowledge that will help them succeed in their fields while also teaching them how best to manage their finances during times of financial hardship or market volatility.
