About the Community Wealth Building Cohort
Our Microfinancing Cooperative is, Powered by Us! We selected 10 businesses to receive small business technical support & exchange financial resources and services that are mutually beneficial to growing their brand.

This will allow one business each month to access $3500.00. $2500.00 collectively pooled from cohort members & additional funds of $1000.00 contributed each month from support from Three Seed Collective and Partnership for Southern Equity.
