Building Resilient Entrepreneurs (BRE)

Turning Vision into Viability

What is Building Resilient Entrepreneurs (BRE)?

BRE is a 6-month economic wellness and business development program tailored for micro and small business owners. It blends personal finance education with business tools and mentorship.


Who It’s For

Designed for small and micro business owners, especially from underserved communities, who seek to improve both personal and business finances while gaining access to capital.


How It Works

Participants commit to:

  • Attending monthly business-focused workshops
  • Saving $250 each month for 6 months
  • Engaging with mentorship, coaching, and peer learning


At completion, participants may receive:

  • Up to $1,500 in matched savings

Participant Impact – Inaugural BRE Cohort

Participants Served: 10 small business owners


Workshops Delivered: 6 sessions covering cash flow management, tax strategies, debt reduction, succession planning, and emergency savings


Success Rate: 100% of participants met or exceeded the $1,000 savings goal


Total Emergency Savings Achieved: $11,900 in dedicated business savings


This inaugural class demonstrates the power of focused financial education and community support in building business resilience.
