Give Your Support
Your gift helps us to continue to support women and minority small businesses
The National Institute of Minority Economic Development accomplishes its mission by helping diverse small businesses to grow, compete, thrive, create jobs, become sustainable, and be valued partners within their local communities.
Our core competencies include business and entrepreneurial education, technical assistance, research and advocacy, affordable housing and community development (CDFI) financing, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Our work is organized into four synergistic centers to help emerging leaders, business owners, non-profit organizations, HBCUs, and our strategic partners contribute to growth, sustainability, and economic justice in low-to-moderate-income communities:
- Research, Policy and Impact Center
- Center for Entrepreneurship
- Center for Community Investment
- Center for Professional Services
Last year across all programs, the Institute provided technical assistance, growth and capacity support, and other services to more than 8,200 diverse small business entrepreneurs across our footprint.
