All over the world, small businesses are the building blocks of local communities – they offer entrepreneurial and leadership opportunities to community members, infuse the local economy, and serve the needs of their clients in a way only local businesses can. With their deep connection to the people they serve, small businesses are perfectly positioned to address and respond to community needs (or challenges). To support the incredible work that small businesses are doing in communities all over the world, we’re launching the Challenge “Power of Local: Supporting Ecosystems for Small Businesses to Thrive.” Through it, we’re looking for small business ecosystem builders: organizations, programs, or initiatives that provide small businesses with diverse and equitable opportunities like resources, tools, networking, etc. Learn more and apply for The Power of Local Challenge below!
Applications for the Power of Local Challenge are now open! We are looking for small business ecosystem builders – organizations that provide small businesses with diverse and equitable opportunities like resources, tools, networking, and more.
